Is it possible to somehow build the complete p3 system with custom use

Yes, but you don't need catalyst to do it. You can easily extract a stage3
tarball into a directory, chroot into it, do whatever you want, exit the chroot,
and then tar up the directory. The result is essentially a "stage4".
Thanks for your tip; However, two small questions remain:
1.) What options should i pass to tar when packing the chrooted
environment ?
tar -C /path/to/chroot/dir -cjpf /path/to/stage4.tar.bz2 .
2.) Is there a way to eject the live-cd after booting, so that i can
insert a cd with my custom "stage 4" ?
Add 'docache' (or something like that) to the kernel command line. It's
documented somewhere :) Although, if both machines are on the same network, it'd
probably be easier to just transfer the tarball via NFS, scp, http, etc. once
the CD is booted.
