Hello all,

This change to fai-cd does generate a mostly working iso. However, the change 
uses a "-r" when a "-R" is actually needed. I chased this down because cfagent 
was throwing a permissions error in the live boot environment.

According to the genisoimage man page the "-r" does what normally would be 
consider the sane thing and sets all directories to 555. This makes sense as 
most people will want the cdfs to be readable by normal users. The problem is 
that cfagent doesn't like it's /var/lib directories to be readable by others 
and will not run.

The "-R" tells genisoimage to copy the perms as specified in the source 
directory. With this option cfagent runs correctly and all is well.

Thanks,
Syd
