Sorry, but I don't think just running anaconda from a live cd
environment consuming RPM packages shipped side-by-side with the live cd
file system qualifies as "installable livecd". At least you can't do
anything interesting in 700MB without requiring network access. 

For the record, I do have an "installable livecd" with pilgrim now
though the code needs to be cleaned up, see attached for current code
dump. It should be self-explanatory more or less. With this I'm able to
install from the LiveCD in ca. 5-6 minutes. It works pretty nice... but
then again, I don't have much time (nor the inclination but that's
another matter) to hack on this (let alone time to participate on this
list) these days but at least I was hoping someone would pick up this
train of thought as I do believe the current Kadischi livecd
installation is sub optimal.

So.. It's a little sad we can't seem to find agreement on the simple
definition of what a "installable livecd" is... and I still do think
that doing work which is clearly not on par with the distributions that
Fedora competes with... is not the path we want Fedora to be on.
Something for Greg and co. to think about I guess.

Anyway, enough flaming from me. Perfect is the enemy of the Good or
whatever it is they say. Good luck.
