-This remaster script will extract the files from the existing CD and rebuild a new ISO.  No changes or only minimal changes are made to the files used to build the ISO.
+These are my notes for extracting the files from the existing CD and rebuilding a new ISO.  The word "trivial" in the title does not connotate the degree of difficulty which one may or may not have following my notes.  Rather, they discribe the end result in which no changes or only minimal changes are made to the files used to build a remastered ISO.  In that way these notes serve as a "positive control" to make sure that everything can work before one embarks on a more complex remastering project.
