Thank you for you reply. I was playing with editliveos, and I created my own spin, using the chroot shell. But... I would like ask you if I took a tar.gz from my current install and uncompress it, in the chroot shell for editliveos, should it work?. I tried it, but I received a locale error, and then, the python scripts failed, and delete the squashfs.

editliveos.py is designed to work with LiveOS structured images (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LiveOS_image) in a Live CD .iso file, mounted Live CD or Live USB/SD, or a directory containing the LiveOS components.  One option is an uncompressed 'ext3fs.img' (as might exist when the disk was loaded with the --skipcompress option).

So if your customized image were copied into an uncompressed ext3fs.img file, and placed in a /LiveOS folder under a directory (along with the necessary SYSLINUX boot components), such as,
/directory
            /LiveOS
                 |- ext3fs.img
            /syslinux                 (or isolinux folder with boot files, initrd0, vmlinuz, etc.)

You could call editliveos.py  with /directory as the LiveOS_source argument, such as,
./editliveos.py [other options] /directory
