Is it easy to modify netinstall ISO to include jxself's linux libre as a kernel option?

I was thinking about picking up a cheap C720 Chromebook, wiping it, and then putting Trisquel 7 on it via the netinstall ISO. From previous posts on this forum, the C720 seems to work well or close enough with free drivers so I may give it a shot. Of course I may just run Trisquel Mini due to it only having 2 GB of RAM. I want to get the 3.18 kernel from the start due to Linux 3.17 and above supporting the touchpad and other features out of the box without compiling naything.
I've never edited an ISO image and remastered it, but would it be pretty easy? I figured I could either have it nab the "linux-libre64" and "linux-libre64-packages" from the repositories via a .list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ or just bundle the "linux-image-3.18.0-gnu_1.0_amd64.deb" file on the ISO and have the installer reference that.
So is it pretty easy to modify and repackage or is it best to add this after the system has been installed?
EDIT: I meant to say "linux-libre64" and "linux-libre64-headers" packages.
I am a translator!

i run trisquel 7 gnome fallback on an intel atom netbook with 1 gb ram and i assure you it is smooth as butter. i can open several programs (heavy ones like icecat) and never run out of central mem..
my previous laptop burnt a couple of months ago so i bought this one for 50 euros frm a friend of mine - it had windows 7 starter on it and it required 3 minutes to just boot..abd ones iy hit desktop without opening anything almost 800 megs vere used (shitty winzozz).
now when i boot it it uses 180 megs so..yeah 2 gigs is more then enough..unless you do some really heavy image editing or whatever
regards
The topic is about modifying the netinstall ISO, not about Trisquel vs Trisquel mini. Please stay on-topic : )
My main desktop has 16 GB, but I will be limited in what I use on the $200 Chromebook. It's ok as it will be used to write and debug Python scripts launched from the terminal.
I've never tried it but assuming you've got another computer (why wouldn't you?), this may be of help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=688872 (Haven't tried it myself but want to do so soon).
