How to I add the packages to the iso? I tried editing the iso by when I boot the loader fails (since the size has changed). Do I burn the cd then add the pkgs later? Do I make a dir on the iso itself? I'm a bit stumped...

One simple way to make your custom myDSL cdrom is to do what I do. I have only a single cdrom in my machine. It is a cdwriter. So I place my DSL cdrom in and boot with this:
boot: dsl 2 toram

Then at the system prompt I type
# mkmydsl

Then follow the on screen system prompts.
You will need a hard drive with mountable partition and two directories large enough to hold the DSL image and all the extensions that you want.
For example lets say you have a partition hdc4.

1. mount /mnt/hdc4
2. cd /mnt/hdc4
3. mkdir master
4. mkdir iso
5. copy the extensions that you want to use EVERYTIME into the master directory
6. mkdir master/optional
7. copy the extensions that you want as optional into the master/optional directory
8. mkmydsl

At the first prompt enter /mnt/hdc4/iso
At the second prompt enter /mnt/hdc4/master

This is an all dsl way to make a custom myDSL cdrom.

Sorry, I posted this backwards.

At the first prompt enter /mnt/hdc4/iso
At the second prompt enter /mnt/hdc4/master

But the prompts do clearly state
The first prompt geing:
Enter the directory to hold image and modules (EXAMPLE: /mnt/master):
The second prompt:
Enter the directory to hold the new iso (EXAMPLE: /mnt/iso/)
