Right. First of all it is SquashFS which is only appendable, not writeable.
Second, Fedora Core is too robust of an operating system to just "copy 
the LiveCD to disk".
Fedora Core isn't *known* to be a LiveCD, it is known for it's 
full-fledgedness.. so..
this warrants nothing less than a fully featured, as in with Anaconda, 
harddrive installation.
