So should I understand that booting from LiveCD, installing a couple extensions (.dsl or .tar.gz), and then mkmydsl-ing will create an ISO that will have those extensions pre-installed, as in not auto-loaded extensions, but as an integrated part of the system?

Or, to put it another way, mkmydsl creates an ISO of the dsl system as it exists when you run the script. Right?

No.  mkmydsl builds a new ISO which contains extra files in its root, so when you boot the new CD the mydsl apps will install automatically (or adds them to the "install optional extensions" menu if they were put in the optional directory).

The KNOPPIX file in your new ISO is identical to the one in the original ISO, so if you were to use the "norestore" and "base" boot options you'd boot into the same system you'd get with the original ISO.

Okay.

Is there any way of doing what I described, or is that what a classic hard drive install is for?

Problem creating remastered DSL CD!
Please help...
The problem>I did all according to the tutorial.  When the program writes >copying images for remastering, it fills the screen with error messages. I checked, it indeed copies DSL, so why the error?
Exact message>failed to preserve ownership >blah blah<operation not permitted.
The circumstances>I tried to make the new image on hdd, which is windows fat32 - the  dsl runs from CD with the toram option.

Your problem is fat32.  Windows filesystems (and Windows itself) are crap when it comes to dealing with file permissions and ownership.
You shouldn't use Windows filesystems if you want to do anything useful in Linux.
