err...  make that /dev/live instead of /dev/root

/dev/live here as well.  Though you will need to get livecd-creator and 
dependencies installed.  (yum install livecd-creator from the livecd will work 
if you have enough ram and a net connection).  And you'll no doubt want to use 
--tmpdir pointing to some place with lots of space mounted (i.e. not use the 
default tmpdir of /var/tmp which would be in ram usually on a livecd)
