I hate to take you away from the LoTR marathon;  but I do think that
regenerating the ISOs is the Right Thing.  For instance, I build my
local mirror / yum repository by automounting the ISOs, and symlinking
from them into the 'os/i386/RedHat/RPMS' directory;  while I *could* put
the i686 versions in that directory myself, the "cleanliness" of the
setup suffers;  people who install from CDs burned from the ISOs won't
have any good way to get square, either (assuming that the initial
installation of the i{3,5}86 versions hoses the system).

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings,

Tres.
