In CONF.sh you configured this:-
# Path of the temporary directory
export TDIR=/ftp/tmp
This is the address of the file tree that is built into the iso images,
complete with Packages files. These are the files you need to modify.
Then build your iso images using mkisofs.
If you can write a script that would do this automatically (sed?), I for
one would find it very useful.
