This is a good question. The project should come up with a recommended
way to add or change stuff that isn't part of an rpm when creating a
live CD.

At Fudcon, David suggested that he might add an option to livecd-creator
to open a shell to the chroot environment after the software is
installed and before it's made into an ISO. Is that option available?
Would you guys suggest adding data using post install scripts in a
kickstart file instead?
