I've used the instructions found here to add binaries to my netstg2.img. You should be able to modify it to your liking: http://linuxgazette.net/105/nielsen.html#install Not a "live cd" exactly, but it should give you what you are looking for.

We have a customized boot.iso with our own splash screen (text-only), be-latin1 keyboard mappings, serial console and with many isolinux labels (rescue images and kickstart commandline parameters for every system we have). Since we're not allowed to do DHCP/PXE installations, such an ISO allows us to have a single image that we can boot from as a "virtual" cdrom and either test the network/hardware or do the installation. Unfortunately I haven't find a small rescue image that includes a recent 2.6 kernel and wide network support. RIP with network is already 30MB (takes a long time to load over the network) and none of them have tcptraceroute functionality (which is important to be able to test and pinpoint firewall configuration problems). tcptraceroute in busybox is an essential feature for us, I'd donate money to have someone write it.
