He can't.  The RPMs on the live CD have already been extracted, and
don't exist as an RPM on the liveCD.  If you do an "install" from the
live CD, all it does is copy of the disk image to your hard drive.  The
best he can do is get a list of the RPMs which *were installed* on the
live CD and extract them from another source (like the install DVD or
possibly from a downloaded RPM (see yumdownloader)).
