If you know your way around Linux you can easily jailbreak the HMC and become root. From there it is no problem to loop-mount an ISO-image, no? Basically the HMC is a customized Linux with the "appliance"-part on top.

If you want to set up a NIM-server: i was planning for a longer time to update and expand the article i once wrote, so this would present a good inducement to do so. If you have questiona planning this: just ask (but, please, in a different thread, we like to have our threads focused on one theme at a time).

I hope this helps.
