I'm using the cdrom version as well and it seems to be pretty straight 
forward to muck around with adding new packages and rebuilding iso images.  
All you really need to do is take a look at the way the tarballs are put 
together and you should be able to build your own stuff to fit in there as 
well.  I also went ahead and wrote a script to grab any new kernel modules 
and repackage the kpkg tarballs. 

You'll need to stick this script in your kpkg/ directory and run it.  Let 
me know if anyone finds it useful and I'll spruce it up a bit.  I also 
created a directory called /usr/src/trinux with the 2.4.19 kernel source 
code and have been building modules there.

Have fun,

--Patrick.
