There's more than one of us I think :)

Not for F17. Maybe for F18 if I can figure out a way to do it that
wouldn't confuse the heck out of everyone already using live to do their
install.s

The reason why I dislike liveinst is that by launching it from a running
system the environment setup for it isn't as consistent as when it is
run from a DVD or netinst.iso install environment. This results in odd
bugs related to liveinst that don't show up in the normal install path.
