Sorry I didn't see this message sooner.

livemedia-creator is the supported way to create custom isos and disk
images. It is part of the lorax package and you can read the docs for
the Fedora version here -
https://rhinstaller.github.io/lorax/livemedia-creator.html and my recent
blog post here -
https://www.brianlane.com/creating-live-isos-with-livemedia-creator.html

RHEL7 documentation is here -
