Please note that the current Fedora-17-Beta-TC2-Live images lack

some traditional Live CD/USB features.

The --home-size-mb NNN option of livecd-iso-to-disk produced a /LiveOS/home.img

filesystem for the liveuser's home directory.

This feature made possible the --encrypted-home option, which would secure the privacy of a user directory on a Live USB system.

The home.img filesystem was also read/write/delete without consuming the LiveOS overlay.  This is important for non-short-term Live USB deployments, such as Sugar on a Stick, where overlay exhaustion can be a significant problem.
