I think your answer is yes...
I have mistakenly left a cd in my cdrom drive that had an "/optional" and a "/storage" directory on it..
My "custom" 600MB dsl cd, with extensions, mp3's, my website data, etc..
The "mkmydsl" uses a DSL CD for the source files when making a new custom .iso
It expects to find a pristine DSL CD in /cdrom ..
But in this case, the script made a new .iso which contained both my new additions
AND the contents of the /optional and /storage directories on the source cd..
So, ADDING files to your custom DSL disk is as easy as placing them in your
master folder, and using your already custom disk as a source..
I have several custom extensions that I use on some disks..
" allthemes.tar.gz" , "myprinter.dsl" , "myfonts.dsl"
" mywebsite.tar.gz" , " mybookmarks.tar.gz" , etc...
That way, I can pull what I need into the root of the "master" ,
and burn a custom disk that has what I need , or don't want to add.

), I believe this issue will only occur if the source partition (containing the .dsl files and, I assume, the original .iso) is not a native Linux filesystem. I think the target partition (holding the newly generated iso) could be any writable filesystem since the permissions would be set within the .iso image and should not be effected by the partition containing it. Someone correct my logic if I've gone astray.
