Perhaps not hard for the non-livecd-install case. But as the livecd installer
currently works by copying an ext3 image file, instead of a format and
file-level copy, that will be a bit more work. Though in a discussion about
optimizing that process, Jeremy Katz did mention he might be looking into
implementing that, as an improvement for the case when /usr is on a separate
partition. Which would also be what would be needed for the non-ext3 (xfs) case.
