You can read it on the train (or the loo).

: on the RedHat distribution itself (not on linux).

I don't know of any extra tools that RH have provided to do it, but
you could try creating a symbolic link from the hard disk to the
directories you want from the live filesystem.

Another possibility is to create the directories on the hard disk
and then links for all of the files.  This lets you replace the
links with the actual files for performance later on (eg. so you
don't have to copy over the entire /usr/bin directory).
