I see... For the liveCD is indeed kind of tough... However, there are ways:

1) The welcome screen on the browser (Firefox/Konqueror in GNOME/KDE 
spins) a local .(x)html file arranged in such a way that users see at a 
glance what Fedora has to offer, include in there links to some videos 
(maybe even add a few thumbnails of the videos, which shouldn't take too 
much disk space, a few hundred kb at most) to show case these technologies.

2) Instead of a welcome page, maybe a bookmark button in the browser... 
less exposed, but equally "included" to a certain "media" location 
within FP.O, etc...

There are a lot of things that *could* be done... The issue is "doing them".
