Unfortunately, when you add a second session to a bootable CD, the CD is no longer bootable. Thos is an unfortunate side effect of the way bootable CDs work and the way multi-session CDs work. It is not a Knoppix issue. So the second session approach isn't going to work.

There are sopme tools availablwe for editing ISO files. However, so far the only high level tools I've found are for Windows and are pay-to-use (around $30 price). Low level editing of the ISO might work for simple edits of a menu or configuration file, but seem unlikely to work well for complex operations like adding files. So unless someone has some free iso editing software, the only solution short of a remaster would seen to be pay software under windows.

I just had a thought - I wonder if it might be posiabe to add the files in the first session, the burn the bootable iso to the second. I have a lot of reservations thast this will work, but I have not tried it yet.
