Since most/all livecd distros use squashfs or some such, simply mounting an iso via loopback and copying what's on it to rw media won't work. I can't speak for the other live distro you mentioned, but the way you propose doing it certainly won't work with systemrescuecd. Your question indicates you didn't read through the link I posted to the systemrescuecd manual. If you want to customize systemrescuecd, I really suggest you read that chapter in the manual. Customization is certainly possible, but it isn't a straight forward walk in the park.
