Remastering Install CD

I want to add a few things to the filesystem that is on the install cd but I cant get it to work. I've read this wiki: Remastering the Install ISO but I think it's outdated. I can't seem to find the initrd image but I do notice that there are three squashfs images in the root of the cd called core-pkgs.sqfs, overlay.sqfs and root-image.sqfs. Is the last one the root filesystem?

I tried to mount it using sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop root-image.sqfs ../edit but it gave me this error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop2,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

You should do what the error message advises, and check dmesg.
