Interesting question, I wish I read this before posting above about
livecd-to-pxeboot. What I would like to do is use livecd-to-pxeboot
script to set up pxe trees from a non-live-iso.

Although these tools are designed for livecd's I can see other uses
outside of this scenario.

It may be nice to even split the package up further, like they did with
 imgcreate, for generic livecd-tools-iso-utils....

%files iso-utils
%{_bindir}/livecd-iso-to-disk
%{_bindir}/livecd-iso-to-pxeboot
