You really should use the stock Fedora Core utilities however.
If you are making an installer to system from LiveCD, why not use Anaconda?

Not really a fan of Java, I'm not sure a Fedora Eclipse LiveCD is the

If OLPC is a "derived" from Redhat or Fedora Core distribution, I really 
do not see how this pertains to this list.
On another note, what functionality does this LiveCD stuff you mention 
provide over Fedora Core's Kadischi?
If you are unfamiliar with Kadischi, you can find it here:

Available via CVS.
