Not particularly. It would use rootpath method, just with partitioning.
Partitioning and mounting the system under /mnt/sysimage is no problem 
for Anaconda.
(Provided the work is done to make that happen).

Just so you aren't hanging on by the edge of your seat, I was able to 
get Anaconda,
running from te LiveCD with Kadischi/Anaconda payload installed to right 
at installing packages.

The place I stopped was during an exception in grabber.py in urlgrabber 
module for Python while
trying to read the header files in  /tmp/cache/headers saying xxx.hdr 
doesn't exist in /tmp/cache.

I'm unsure if the Anaconda devs are interested in the porblems I've run 
over also.
In any case hang tight, and I'll try to put together a concise list of 
items needing fixing in Anaconda
for harddrive installations from the LiveCD.
