No no.  You're thinking about partitions on the host composing the 
image.  You need to be thinking about the temporary filesystem 
livecd-tools creates to install the packages into while composing the 
image.  It's /that/ filesystem that is getting full.

Basically look for the "part" line in the fedora-live-base.ks file and 
increase its size, or add a new line of larger size to 
fedora-livecd-desktop.ks
