I need to create a live cd with certain tools developed in house at my company. This live cd will be used for disaster recovery.

Utilizing Reconstructor, How can I add .DEB files to the image? Or even a new directory with files? Is this possible?

I am using the newest version of reconstructor with the 7.04 Desktop ISO.

Thanks!

Basically you'll need to decompress the liveCD filesystem onto your HD using reconstructor (third page of the GUI), then copy your .deb's into the LiveCD-to-be's filesystem ( /home/yourusername/reconstructor/root/ ), then use the terminal in Reconstructor (which chroot's the LiveCD-to-be's filesystem and lets you run stuff as if you were running it on the LiveCD) to install your deb's.
