Thanks!

The problem went away when I effectively deleted my old .isomaster file 
by renaming it.  It contained references

When I installed Fedora 11, I did a little rearranging of my file 
system.  In Fedora 10, I used /opt/tmp for isomaster and that directory 
does not exist anymore.  When isomaster recreated its configuration 
file, it used /tmp.

It appears that isomaster is sensitive to directory paths disappearing 
on it.  There was no error message anywhere that I could find.
