Live CD's like Kanotix or Memphis allow direct installation to the hard 
disk from the Live CD. That would another way to do an Fedora 
Installation.Anyone can mix and match packages from Fedora Core ane 
Extras repositories and create a Live cd and distribute it as a formal 
installation of Fedora .  A specific use case would be for someone to 
create a Fedora SELinux MCS policy live cd for a security presentation 
and then a do installation to the hard disk if necessary.
