Live CD's like Kanotix or Memphis allow direct installation to the hard
disk from the Live CD. That would another way to do an Fedora
Installation.Anyone can mix and match packages from Fedora Core ane
Extras repositories and create a Live cd and distribute it as a formal
installation of Fedora . A specific use case would be for someone to
create a Fedora SELinux MCS policy live cd for a security presentation
and then a do installation to the hard disk if necessary.
