Is there a good document on how to explode the FC5 DVD .iso file, add or

Seems that this would be a handy tool... I'd like to be able to do automated
installs of FC5...
Not sure of any docs, but here's what I do to add a kickstart file to a DVD
ORIG=original-dvd.iso
mkdir -p orig.mnt
mount -o loop -t iso9660 $ORIG orig.mnt
rm -rf new
cp -va orig.mnt new
# Edit new/isolinux/isolinux.cfg
# add kickstart file to new
mkisofs -o my-new.iso \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot \
-boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table \
new
I then test out the DVD image with qemu (there are already far too
many coasters in this world) before burning it to DVD.
