I am asking for help:<br>
<br>
Is there some documentation on the use of the option:<br>
<span class="mw-headline"
id="Options_provided_by_the_livecd-creator_command"></span>--base-on=BASE_ON
?<br>
<br>
I am wondering if this is a functional option in f13-f14, and how is it
used?<br>
how do I add a package to an existing .iso image<br>
<br>

--package=<p1> [--package=<p2> ...]
[--exclude-package=<e1>] --exclude-package=<e2> ...]
[--base-on=<path-to-iso-file>]

<h3>The examples look like a very nice way to customize a .iso, without
doing a full build with a .ks file</h3>

.....................
Many of these options

Where can one find more information and usage cases?
