Try a different architecture - ovlfs - slax or linux-live scripts.

With this approach you can install or remove packages (in RAM, of
course) as you need.  Customize your distro, run the scripts, burn your
ISO, boot something, then install or remove programs.  Again, none of
these changes will exist upon reboot.  

Slax takes it a step further, incorporating 'modules', which you can
load (or not) as you see fit.  These can reside elsewhere, USB media,
firewire, etc.  

Would be really nice, though, if you could make a bootable ISO on a
multi-session CD, leaving a free session to burn while running from
first session.
