Hi I've done preseeding not long ago. This is the script I've used: --------------------snip-------------------- #! /bin/bash cd ~/Preseed cp "neu.preseed" isoverz/preseed/xubuntu.seed cp "txt.cfg.neu" isoverz/isolinux/txt.cfg sudo mkisofs -r -V Ubuntu -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \ -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table -o /home/v/Preseed/remastered.iso \ /home/v/Preseed/isoverz --------------------snip-------------------- This assumes that the copying of the contents of the ISO have already been copied to the directory /home/v/Preseed/isoverz. This is the directory which will be used by mkisofs to remaster the ISO. Note that two replacement files are copied into the new directory. Obviously, I've done it another way than you, using mkisofs instead of cpio. The system which I've done this on, is XUbuntu, but it should be the same on Debian.
