It would definitely be helpful for rpmfusion to preserve driver packages 
for the kernels shipped in the media although I thought they did this?

I just checked for F17 and they do appear to have kmod packages for the 
3.3.4-5 kernel that shipped on the media.

You could pre-download everything including dependencies and have it on 
a USB device available as a repo to the LiveCD or installer. There are 
tools that will do all that but it would be nice to have a very simple 
way to put it all together in advance to simplify this kind of install.
