I wasn't suggesting that virt-builder or any virt-* command attempt
to manipulate the ISO. Instead, I was wondering if I should create
the ISO with a different filesystem layout. Mine appears to be an
installer image that lays out the filesystem upon first install.
Yours seems to be a fully baked (live-cd) format.
Maybe the way to go would be to configure a VM using virsh and point
it at my ISO. I'll then run through the boot/installation process
(to install packages and run our customization scripts), shut the
system down to produce a qcow2. I can then use your other tools to
convert the qcow2 into other formats.
In that case I don't understand the problem, but I'll just comment
that virt-customize cannot customize an install CD.
