[Fedora-livecd-list] removing "Install to Hard Drive" option

[Tim Wood]

Under linux (and the livecd) the files in user accounts are copied from 
/etc/skel.  If I don't like stuff in a user folder, I'll remove  it 
either during post or with the boot script (/etc/rc.d/fedora-live).  In 
your case, you're going to (of course), nuke 
/etc/skel/Desktop/liveinst.desktop
