Q about installing F10 from Live DVD

A colleague of mine is interested in trying Linux Fedora 10 on a new
machine he's purchased. He asked me to help him.  I thought I'd try
the "Live install" of which I've read, but have never done before.  It
seems like a fast way to install and time-to-install is a bit limited.

I looked at the Installation Guide at 
<docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/index.html>
but it didn't seem to answer my questions.  Maybe I missed it.

So ...

I presume that the machine will "just come up", running in-memory from
the Live Image on the DVD. (Is that right?) So, how does one get the
in-memory system onto a root partition?  Does the Anaconda Installer
get involved in the process so that a "regular install" occurs using
the Live data as source?

Pointers to instructions will be appreciated.

I've copied my colleague so that he can see for himself what helpful
chaps y'all are. :-)

Thanks
Dean
