Hmmm...yes we can not overwrite the current ISO as it is currently
mounted. What if we go back to load everything into memory? Then
we could just replace the ISO on the memory stick (incl. its
signature file) in place. What is cheaper? RAM or USB-Memory sticks?

BTW how do we handle the ISOs created with custom-cd?
