	RedHat 7.0?  I don't think so.  I've got a long list of security
holes and there are at least four automatic worms (Ramen, Li0n, Adore, and
TSIG[abc]) that are taking advantage of at least one version (there were
two - the original and the "respin") to propagate.  I've researched the
TSIG[abc] DNS based worm.  Nasty...  And highly prolific.

	If you have mkisofs, I would bet that you have cdrecord.  One
without the other just doesn't make sense.  And cdrecord is exactly the
tool to turn "iso images" to a readable cd.  Mkisofs is used for creating
the iso images from directories and files, not for burning the CDs.
