you can view the contents of the ISO Disk image files by simply using archive manager. But it is a risk to add/delete or edit the contents of such ISO files using archive manager only in Ubuntu as there is high probability of the disk image to be invalid or not bootable. In such cases , you can use a very handy tool called ISO Master.

I've used it to add files to my distribution after the remastering process, and it didn't screw anything up. It works flawlessly for me.
yup, same experience here. for a client i had to build custom fedora images. we used revisor for that. but it proved unstable and unreliable. i don't remember the details, but i was rerunning it a dozend times before i had something usable. then i discovered isomaster. it was perfect to update the installer scripts which needed to be tweaked to get the custom configuration right.

greetings, eMBee.
I use this on almost a daily basis, and haven't found anything that is as easy to use as this software program is. However there are a couple of issues that I have found.

The first is if you edit a shell script inside the image using ISO Master editor you will cause your shell script to most likely to fail. You need to edit the shell script from outside the ISO Master program then insert it into the ISO image.

The second problem I have found is, and it only happens in rare cases, is if you delete a large file > 1.9G and then insert its replacement (same name ~ same size) the program just shuts down. What I do is save the ISO image after deleting the large file and then open the new saved image and insert the new large file.

Other than these minor issues it is an outstanding program
