Thanks for the tip.  Here is the pertinent info:


Directory listing of /

d--------- 0 0 0 4096 Jun 12 2003 [    170] ISOLINUX

Directory listing of /ISOLINUX/

---------- 0 0 0 9852 Jun 12 2003 [ 960380] ISOLINUX.BIN;1
---------- 0 0 0 2163 Jun 11 2003 [ 960385] ISOLINUX.CFG;1

So, it looks like these files are at the very end, and iso.sort didn't 
work.  I tried using this sort pattern:

isolinux 1000
RedHat -1000  (this is the bulk of the files)

but it gave the same results.

I just tried using isolinux-1.75 (which boots), and I get the same 
ISO9660 information.
