making custom iso images

Greetings all.  Actually, I am following up on my thread from the other
day about putting speakup into a server distro of linux.  I have an iso
image of the sme server distribution I want to use.  thanks to Bill, I
have the identical kernel version rpms for redhat to match the
installation cd for this distro.  I have never attempted to build an
iso image before.  basically, on my test box, I want to modify the sme
isoimage by replacing the kernel rpms included with the ones I got from
octothorp and then make an iso image I can burn to cd and do an
installation on to another machine to see if ti works before i do this
to the machine which is running my mail ftp, etc.

wonder if this will work or break all kinds of things.  I will also
have to modify their ks.cfg file to change the boot prompt default
label to pass speakup parameters.

Have never created a cd inlinux before having always cheated and used
easy cd creator 5

will just replacing the kernel rpms on a cd and then doing an
installation give me the new kernel or the original one on the cd which
the machine will boot from?

guess it will be an opportunity to learn some new stuff.  any pointers
to creating iso images under linux would be cool  I can always copy the
image to my windows box and burn it there but that is less of a
challenge.

will see what happens.

thanks.  Brian.
