Scripts for modifying LNX-BBC 2.1

I'm a big fan of LNX-BBC.  For me it's a fantastic rescue disc.
 
I wanted a simple way to make small modifications lnx-bbc to suit
my own local needs.  Here is a set of scripts for version 2.1 of the
lnx-bbc for unfolding the directories of a lnx-bbc disc image, making
modifications, and folding it back into an ISO image.
 
For small casual changes I found building the entire disc from
lnx-bbc source a bit unwieldy, these scripts make it easy for me
to tweak a disc for a special purpose.
 
I was looking to solve a few problems in particular:
 
    I would like change the kernel on a lnx-bbc disk.  For my laptop
    I want the orinoco_pci kernel driver for the mini-pci
    802.11b card, I would like to have kernel modules
    for a special disk controller in a server machine, and I would 
    like to run a particularly non-mainstream kernel on my 
    desktop machine with native serial ATA support.
 
    I have a server machine with a BIOS bug that won't boot using
    syslinux.  It boots fine with isolinux, so I would like to build
    a lnx-bbx that uses isolinux for booting rather than syslinux.
 
    I would like to be able to build a ram resident lnx-bbc.  That is,
    I would like the lnx-bbx disc to boot, copy everything it needs
    (50MB) into a ram disk, unmount the cdrom and run out of ram.
    I wanted this primarily for my laptop so I can travel with a
    lnx-bbc disc, a couple of backup DVD-Rs, and restore my system
    using just the DVD drive in the laptop.
 
Hopefully this will be useful to other people and are a kind of
proof-of-concept of a wishlist for future lnx-bbc releases.  here's
the stuff:
