I will try to use the functions and helpers from live-helper. I did a
quick test and it seems that this works:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=final.img bs=256M count=1
# dd if=binary.img of=final.img conv=notrunc
# losetup /dev/loop0 final.img
# fdisk /dev/loop0 <-- create the new partition
# losetup -d /dev/loop0
# losetup.sh /dev/loop0 final.img 1
# mkfs.ext3 -L live-rw -F /dev/loop0
# losetup -d /dev/loop0
I will probably look at your script for the "create the new partition"
step. Maybe live-helper has some functions for this too.

Cyril
