Straightforward way: start an installation in any way (using KVM or
VirtualBox can be the easiest, but YMMV), after user-setup has been
loaded, switch to another console (Alt+F2 or Alt+F3), use nano to change
the revelant shell scripts online.
Another way is to create a full development environment (as documented
on the wiki). Make sure that you are able to build working installer
images without touching anything first.
Then, make your changes in user-setup (don't forget to increase the
version number), build the package and copy the resulting udeb(s) in
the localudebs/ directory in the installer tree. The quickest method to
build test images is to use the netboot flavor. But if you do that
directly, your customized user-setup won't be included in the image, as
it is normally loaded at a later stage from a mirror. So you also need
to add "user-setup" to a new "pkg-lists/local" file before building the
image.
Hope that helps,
