As it stands now, you can pretty much already say "install from here rather than doing the live image" and things work. The liveinst script just kind of hides that from you. Once I get repo selection within anaconda itself a little cleaned up (on my todo list for the next week or so), it becomes a lot more feasible to export that for others to use.

I don't know that the base-on bits are really that interesting... more that you either want to a) make changes after the system is installed b) if you made changes to the live image, have them preserved on the install Jeremy
