I have finally gotten fed up with looking at a Micro$oft Blue Screen
of Death...

Many of my System Components are not on the "Supported" list for
Redhat or Mandrake, but the proper Linux Drivers are readily
downloadable from the Manufacturer's Site.

I admit that I am a little intimidated by the typical command prompt
installation methods that I have read. So here's what I would like to
try. I have a good CD Burner, and many Editing Tools (EZ CD 4.0,
etc..).  Can I edit the Linux Distribution ISO's that I have
downloaded, by putting the drivers that I have in their proper
directories and let the Auto Install load them for me ? will they
appear in the Supported Drivers window? Am I barking up the wrong
tree?

If this will work (in theory or practice) I need to know which
directory(s) to modify.

Thanks
