I have had to do similar more than once due to having multi partitions/distros 
all pointing to
one install areas/home/mbse

So, I copy the SETUP.sh to STUP2.sh (yes I know original). Then hack that 
removing segments not
needed but mostly creating home directories and/or mbse user accounts 
including bbs if already
set up.

Then run it and yes I double check the script before running and even then 
sometime have to
mod the mod and rerun..
