    It's actually not that easy. I already did that and found a cloop image
    which I was able to mount and take a look at. There seem to be several
    layers of things that need to be done. I think I have to first find out
    how to alter the contents in the cloop image, then how to generate the
    cloop image afterwards, then how to bypass the md5 checksum procedure and
    finally make a bootable CD image out of it again.

    Best regards, Alex.
