Is it possible to add some extra files to a live CD image? (pawb.social)

Let's say I had a project that required me to have some files as well as a Live CD for Linux. Could I add the files to my bootable image and access them in the live session?

Yes, but it's complicated. The easier thing to do would be to make a live USB image, then copy the files to the drive.

For a CD, you could add the files to the iso image, then access them on the disc after booting.

If you want them on the live system's filesystem itself, it's more complicated and probably not worth the effort. But you'd have to unpack and repack the system image inside the iso. Or maybe just run the iso build process to create your iso from scratch.
