Hello Korakurider,

yesterday I released XO-LiveCD version 080607. With this release
you are much closer to your goal for CJK localization. The documentation
has a new chapter to give help on customization issues.

The point you are missing is solved. You can put the SCIM rpm package
into the CD top-level directory RPMs/ and it gets automatically installed
during system boot.

Hope this helps, let us know if it works or feel free to ask in case of 
problems.
