Gee, I was thinking the same, should be possible in
theory, wanted to find out if I was the only one
actually trying it...
I put the repo off on a partition with livecd-creator,
booted with a LiveUSB and setup the prereq's. I've
tried it with and without the image in RAM with
--tmpdir reassigned.
However, during the install it seems to always fail
usually in the vicinity of the kernel:
...
localhost kernel: journal commit I/O errorrpmdb: fsync
Input/output error
error: db4 error(5) from db->sync: Input/output error
Installing: python-libs

err... make that /dev/live instead of /dev/root

/dev/live here as well. Though you will need to get
livecd-creator and
dependencies installed. (yum install livecd-creator
from the livecd will work
if you have enough ram and a net connection). And
you'll no doubt want to use
--tmpdir pointing to some place with lots of space
mounted (i.e. not use the
default tmpdir of /var/tmp which would be in ram
usually on a livecd)
