Hmm... I've used LiveCD to build a CD with Apache/Postgres on it..  I
didn't use their scripts, but looked at the steps they were taking...
worked fine for me.  My mkisofs line looked like this:

mkisofs -b boot/cdboot -no-emul-boot -c boot/boot.catalog -R -J -V LiveCD
-o ../LiveCD.iso .

Of course, I can't tell you what version of mkisofs I used since I did it
awhile ago (3 months)  and have since upgraded the system.  Whatever was
current at that time...
