The only ISO tool for our platform that I've heard of
is the 'Nix port of MKISOFS (?) There are a bunch of
ISO making | editing programs on the Dark Side, such
as ISOBUSTER.

Yes . . . but . . . the DFSEE bootable CD barely
tips the scales at around 25 mb. So much free space
going to waste. This idea has occurred to me, and
doubtless to many others. Jan already provides some
"air pockets" in his DFSEE ISO, which get filled by
the registration info and (optionally) by the DOS USB
files. This suggests to me that it might be possible
for him to provide others that we could fill with
whatever, by a similar mechanism, just prior to
burning the ISO. Call it the "players to be named
later."

Fine, but not the last word in convenience.

So have I. It didn't work.
