The official Live CD is meant only to support whatever Fedora supports 
by default otherwise. There is no live cd specific magic. You are very 
well free to build a Live CD which has a different set of packages and 
branding if you want to put in 16K kernels and ndiswrapper in them. Why 
is that impossible to do?
