Does livecd-creator offer an option to stick data into the ISO toward the end of the process? (I did take a look and didn't find such an option.) If not, what would be a good way to make this happen?

Use %post in your kickstart script do accomplish this.

But won't that get put in the squashfs?

If not, then I don't understand something - maybe you can explain.

If so, then that's not what I want - I want the data to be available outside the squashfs to e.g. Windows users that load the CD/DVD.

In the case that I can't add files to the ISO (outside the squashfs) from the .ks, looking at the way package() is implemented, would you accept a patch that adds a command-line argument that turns package from:

    def package(self):
        self.createSquashFS()
        self.createIso()
        self.implantIsoMD5()

into

    def package(self):
        self.createSquashFS()
        self.addFilesToIso()
        self.createIso()
        self.implantIsoMD5()

where addFilesToIso() looks at a command-line argument and merges a
directory's contents with the build_dir before the mkisofs is run in createIso()?

That way, you could add files to the ISO outside the squashfs the way I'm saying I want. (But if this is possible in the .ks, then please enlighten me.)
