You can probably do all this with a hook script. Add the script you want to 
run in your LIVE_INCLUDE_CHROOT directory and set the LIVE_HOOK variable. 
Assuming you have your LIVE_INCLUDE_CHROOT set to /some/path/inc-root, write 
your script in /some/path/inc-root/hook.sh and set LIVE_HOOK="/hook.sh". It 
will be called in a chrooted environment. To do this cleanly, add rm /hook.sh 
at the end of your script.
