the LiveCD will not install the operating system. It is purely for demo or diagnostic purposes.
But there comes an option "Install to Hard-disk" after we see the Live CD desktop!

Yes, it looks like it works; no, it's not officially supported, and reading the page implies you have to build it yourself. This looks to me like the Fedora LiveCD install method; basically, it copies the LiveCD to the HD and sets things up as if it were installed via kickstart and with the regular installer.
I do remember doing a couple of Fedora installs this way; they are fast, that's for sure.
<snip> Yeah - I hate the Fedora way. Why not *ask* where you want to install the liveCD? Why force it into /boot, when until now, *everyone* has kept boot at about 100M or so?
