I googled a bit, but didn't find anything significant'
Writing this from memory, if you have trouble let me know

  mkdir /home/custom-cd
  mkdir /mnt/cdrom
  mount </dev/cdrom> /mnt/cdrom
  cp -rp mount/cdrom/* /home/custom-cd
  cp /mnt/cdrom/.discinfo /home/custom-cd
  cd /home/custom-cd
  -----
  do your customization
  maybe add pkgs to PKGS
  edit install.files (add pkgs in PKGS for auto install)  
  maybe edit install.script  
  -----
  execute mkiso 
  (custom command I put in /usr/bin so root could find it.)
   

this mkisofs puts the iso in a directory above
where you are working ../ISO
so obviously you would need to mkdir ISO
the script further assumes you are in i.e. /home/custom-cd (where the
data is) thus the "." at the end else path to data

------ script to execute mkisofs -------
------   I call mine mkiso
#!/bin/sh
#arg 1 is iso name
mkisofs -o ../ISO/$1 \
        -V 'BQ-CentOS Install v5.5' \
        -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
        -c isolinux/boot.cat \
        -no-emul-boot \
        -boot-load-size 4 \
        -boot-info-table \
        -R -J -T .
