Anaconda by default mounts the usb key at /mnt/isodir, I've just made another repo available on the usb in /updates.

To add file to an iso, mkslim could do that, while a change to the repo line would be needed(I'd need to work up the syntax). NSF would be a snap, uses the same logic as harddrive to fine an iso. I'd just add the /updates to the root of the export, might just work with out changing the repo line, but I would have to mock that up to be sure.
