If you install livecd-tools, you'll see a whole batch of configs
in /usr/share/livecd-tools.  From there, it should be pretty
straight-forward to build on top of an existing config by either copying
and creating your own file or just even having a config that is
  
  %include /usr/share/livecd-tools/livecd-fedora-desktop.ks
  %packages
  kile
  gnuplot
  %end

Then, as the README in livecd-tools say, you just run with
  livecd-creator --config=/path/to/my-config.ks
