you could do it with a hook. a sample hook for such a minimal image is
shipped at /usr/share/live-helper/hooks/mini and
/usr/share/live-helper/hooks/minimal.

if you have other things to add there, i would be eager to know them.

by default, this shouldn't be done for usability reasons. but, for
custom images it's perfectly fine to do this, so.. i see no reason to
not add such an option.
