Yes, simply invoking Anaconda brings up Anaconda.
The RPMs can come from the network if it is a LiveCD, and presumably 
from the network

It requires network connectivity in the LiveCD case, yes.. and for the 
LiveDVD unless
Fedora Core repository is provided on disc.

What were you planning on doing to create a read-write rootfs?
