AFAIK this list is for the kadischi project, which uses a patched
anaconda to build the FC4 image. It's a different liveCD project.
I've had pretty good luck with kadischi, but anything using stock FC4

There are ongoing efforts to get unionfs and squashfs integrated as
kernel modules and that should drastically increase performance.
Consider trying kadischi for your project :
