There are a couple of things that need to be updated or at least
checked prior building the
iso.  There is one thing after needed also.

If you are modifying the package set adjust the comp.xml file and
rebuild the repository for
the image.
Ensure the .discinfo file is in the base iso build directory.
After the iso image is created, use
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/implantisomd5  $ISONAME.iso

If you just want to get a few packages in place on an image maybe
revisor will be an easier
route.
