Yes, unfortunately we don't have anything to use for a live cd that
supports xattrs right now.  Hopefully that will change soon as SELinux
really is one of the things that sets Fedora apart in a lot of ways.

I think that having this at all is a very bad idea.  Again, security is
perhaps _more_ important for a live CD than for someone who is knowingly
installing a Linux distribution.
