ok I need to put a custom gdm.conf and a custom firefox.js (not actual name)
on my livecd. what's the proper way to do this? also is there a proper way
to get firefox not to give me the "just updated screen" is there a way not
to get acroread to prompt me for a license agreement every time? it seems
running these from the livecd chroot should work... but I'm thinking there
might be a better way.

All of these can probably be accomplished with an fsscript and/or an overlay. 
What you do with that fsscript/overlay is completely up to you, however. Keep in 
mind that circumventing the license agreement for acrobat reader probably isn't 
exactly "legal".

I'm not sure I really understand the syntax for an overlay? does everything
within the directory specified have to be where it goes? IE if my directory
is /tmp/overlay would I have to have /tmp/overlay/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to
change that? also any hints on what needs to be changed to make the firefox
updated screen go away? I know how to change the other custom settings I
need for it. but I don't want it to say it was just updated...

Yes for the overlay. No idea about Firefox.
