It probably does work, more or less. On one system, I ran anaconda from
FC2 under FC1 to install to unused partitions. I then mounted the
partitions, got everything configured, and rebooted to switch from FC1
to FC2. Anaconda was a little cranky, spit out a few odd errors, and
misconfigured a couple of kernel modules (things that had changed), but
it worked.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
