Readme-live-image was one of a number of documents which were removed
because they were hidden away and had no apparent way to find them.  We
further assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that a user needing
readme-live-image didn't yet have Fedora installed and thus wouldn't be
reading it from the installation but rather online.  Once you are
actually running the live image it seemed a little late to be telling
you how to make it, and it seemed that the odds of actually finding it
were pretty low.

Once upon a time (pre-FC6 maybe?) this document and several others were
in the root directory of the installation CD where there was a chance
they might be read pre-installation.  Back at that time the document was
also not available at docs.fedoraproject.org.

We don't object to packaging the document, we just didn't see the point.
If there is a need to have that available in a package, we would be
happy to make it so.
