Thanks.  I figured it would probably work, tried it, the did a loopback
mount of the iso file which worked so I guess it's OK.

My basic problem is that I left the first disk of the 7-CD SuSE 8.1
Professional set at a client's about 60 miles from here, and didn't feel
like making the drive to pick it up this afternoon.  It'll take a few hours
to copy it from his DSL line to my T1, but I'm going to watch some
basketball while that's happening (it's been one of those horrible days
today where nothing's gone right so a couple of Pete's Wicked Ales in front
of the telly sounds like just what I need.
