I have a practical issue related to this discussion. I need to produce
media within a few days after FC6 is released to distribute with the
Fedora 6 Bible. I'm allowed to have a DVD (for that I'll use the Fedora
install DVD) and a CD that I want to double as a live/install CD.

I would prefer to have something similar to the Ubuntu or Gentoo live
CDs. They have icons on the desktop that install a workable system from
the CD. (I don't think you need the network for a basic install, but I
could be wrong.)

But, in lieu of a better idea, I'll simply create a CD that (from the
boot prompt) will either boot the live CD or start an "askmethod"
install. I agree it is not an elegant solution, but I would love to hear
if there are any better ones available right now.

David, if you are close, I wouldn't my trying out whatever you have.
