I was wondering that, myself, but I think when I installed F12 last  
month I noticed a similar option for Fedora. It was hidden rather  
well, however. (And I think I had seen it once before, back in,  
maybe, FC7 days.)

Hopefully, I'll remember to watch for it and report back when I  
upgrade (re-install to current) my rescue system partition later on.

One note, for command-line only stuff, I sometimes prefer openBSD.  
Depends on what and why.
