It's still a text-only environment.

What I think would be really helpful would be a menu item (next to the 
liveinst one) on the live images which does the same magic to autodetect and 
mount /mnt/sysimage as the rescue disk does, but from within the graphical 
live CD environment. I've abused a KDE Live CD as a rescue disk more than 
once because it's a much friendlier rescue environment than the minimalist 
one on the rescue image, but mounting the sysimage manually is the harder 
the more complex the partition setup on the HDD is.
