How is the Live installer different from the network installer? Is it
just some configuration thing, or are those completely different
installers? It looked like regular Anaconda last time I installed
Workstation.

I'm just trying to understand if you don't want to give the user the
option to choose the installation options from live CD on purpose (due
to user experience or such) or if there is some real issue?
