It should be theoretically possible for rpm to be enhanced to handle 
"detached headerdata" so that it can treat the unpacked files from the 
Live image itself, combined with the "detached headerdata" as a 
"package" suitable for use in upgrading an existing Fedora install.  
There would need to be a lot of effort to make this work, however. 
When I brought this idea to the rpm5 maintainer, he was amenable to 
the it, although I have no idea if it has ever been done in the 
several years since I brought it up.
