Apologies if you found my post ranty.  It was intended to help with an
understanding of the differences between ISO files and filesystem image
files.  Nothing more.

Apologies too if there were mistakes in my rant.  In fact it was just
a draft, which I sent by accident - and from the wrong email address.
If you would be kind enough to mark with an 'X' any details which you
found to be wrong, even if it helps no-one else it may help me to get
things clearer in my mind and hopefully avoid misleading anyone else.

Thank you.
