One small thing: If you want to put in some additional files on your CD then please put them in config/chroot-local_includes. I.E. you want different /etc/skel then put the adjusted dir into [livecd]/config/chroot-local_includes/etc/skel. My usual way to rebuild CDs is to lh_clean first (careful! This deletes you chroot!!! But also .stages. It only keeps config and cache) and then to lh_build. To install new packages I add them to [livecd]/config/chroot (file) in the section LH_PACKAGES="emacs less mc ..." You can also put some extra .deb files into [livecd]/config/chroot-local_packages so that they will be installed during the build. (Take care of the dependencies though ;-) ) I think that putting files into the chroot is not a clean way to build the CD. This way it takes (me) about 10-15 minutes for a new CD build but it is "clean" afterwards. Hope it helps a bit.
