I, too, am looking for a way to make little "tweaks" to the finished product.
I have tried mounting the ISO as loop, but after I unsquash the root filesystem to a
temporary directory, I can't seem to figure out what to do with the ext3.img file. It
seems like I should be able to mount that as a loop device, but I get an error when I try.
Does anyone have the secret decoder ring for that file?
Many thanks,
Rhonda Kern

Thanks for replying. However, my point is that I don't want to have to run
livecd-creator again (takes time) every time I change two or three files. I am looking to
have different versions of these two or three files for each user who will be using this
Live CD, and to have to run livecd-creator every time, although it would work, would take
lots of time.
That's why I am searching for a way to just change the ISO directly, to modify the
handful of files I wish to change and be able to re-burn the CD and boot it. The files I
wish to change are on the Live CD file system (/mnt/live), not on the squashfs OS file
system.
Thanks,
Todd

Hi !
Add your scripts and changes to sections %post and %post --nochroot in
your .ks file.

Hello,
After creating a LiveCD ISO image, I'd like to be able to make CDs
that are essentially identical, but have a small set of unique
per-user files. I have tried mounting the ISO, copying its contents
to a regular directory, making my changes on the Live CD file system
(not the internal squashfs file system) and recreating the ISO using
mkisofs. However, this new ISO (when burned to a CD) refuses to boot.
Is there a way I can modify the ISO image to include my per-user files
on the /mnt/live file system for each user (and have the resulting ISO
be bootable), rather than running the whole livecd-creator process
each time I want a new CD?
Thanks,
Todd
