I'm here, and the author of the relevant feature.  Though I won't be 
online much in the next 24 hours, but after that I'm sure I can get you

Also, if I could convince you to squeeze in another ~100kb package into 
the LiveCD, it would allow an experimental 'rebootless installation' in 
addition to the traditional and stable rebootful kind provided by anaconda.

It's gotten quite a bit of early bug shakeout in the fedora-12 derived 
SugarOnAStick development builds.
