Joel: thanks.  The problem I anticipate is creating a directory for
mkisofs to store the image file.
The computer in question  only has one HD, and AFAIK has only Win 98
occupying  all available drive  real estate.

Knoppix has XCDRoast, ergo the necessary support files are on board, but
of course XCDRoast can't be configured because I can't write to the
Knoppix CD.

(To recapitulate the problem: I'm trying to see if I can use Knoppix to
rescue files from a crapped out Win 98 install by burning them to a CD)
