Check the desktop ks file and the base desktop ks file it depends on and 
add/remove programs as you wish. It is always better to have a local 
Fedora mirror of the needed packages if you are building a Live CD. Use 
the --cache option for avoiding repeated downloads.  If you already have 
a Live CD image and would just to add more packages to the existing 
image, use the -b option.

Not sure what you are trying to do here but mkdir <path>/foo/bar/bing 
works if you want to just create a series of directories.
