removing "Install to Hard Drive" option

[Todd N]

Hello,
 
Does anyone know of a way to disable the appearance of the "Install to Hard Drive" icon on the Live CD user's GNOME desktop?  I see that a "liveinst.desktop" file gets placed in the user's ~/Desktop directory, but I'm not sure what moves it there.  It would be preferable for us if this file could be kept out of the Desktop directory altogether.
 
As always, any help and ideas are appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Todd

Could always just move it somewhere else in a %post scriptlet.  I think the anaconda package installs the liveinst program... not really sure, though

While the end result would likely be what we want, I think it would be more efficient to stop it at the source, so to speak, and prevent it from appearing under ~/Desktop at all.
 
A bit more info:  when I log into user X on my Live CD, I can manually remove the ~/Desktop/liveinst.desktop file and "Install to Hard Drive" icon does disappear from the desktop.  However, if I log out of the user and back in, the icon is back.  What in the login process copies this file back into the desktop?
 
Thanks again,
Todd

Under linux (and the livecd) the files in user accounts are copied from 
/etc/skel.  If I don't like stuff in a user folder, I'll remove  it 
either during post or with the boot script (/etc/rc.d/fedora-live).  In 
your case, you're going to (of course), nuke 
/etc/skel/Desktop/liveinst.desktop

See /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/zz-liveinst.sh
