"edit-livecd.py --help" gives more info

specify a bash script to run chrooted inside the livecd, fs image.

most simple usage is "edit-livecd.py image-you-want-to-edit.iso" this 
will give you a chrooted shell inside the livecd, fs mage.

Also note, there are two known issues with the script as is: 1) the FS 
label is not correctly copied form the base image, a work around is to 
manually edit the grub menu and change the cd label to the correct 
label.  I am working on fix for this and should have it posted soon! 2) 
there is an ~ 10-15M size increase on the edited image.  We believe this 
is because the hard links form initrd are broken when the image is 
copied, so essentially you have two copies of the initrd image on the 
new iso.  Jboggs has proposed a patch I am working on getting this fix 
into the script.  I will also soon have a patch for this as well.
