Live CD have been installable to hard disk from Fedora 7 onwards. Should 
be quite clear from

http://get.fedoraproject.org

Sure.

The only question is managing the locales and the package set within the 
live cd size. It approximately holds about 2 GB of content, compressed. 
  If you fit the above + any one locale into a live cd, the others 
should be doable with minimal changes.

You need a Fedora 10 system as host with SELinux in permissive mode.

As far as customization is concerned, i have used revisor, and

We had a chat on IRC as well. This is just a followup so folks here are 
aware.
