If you look at the README in the livecd-tools package, you'll see a
description of the baseon option (-b) to add things to an existing live
image.  Or alternately, you can just modify the configs used for the
Fedora 7 image and rebuild the entire image

But note that if you are wanting to include things which are not
included in Fedora (such as the bcm firmware) and then distribute the
result, you'll also need to remove the Fedora trademarks from the image
