True, but the Live image needs something like a command like
"fedora-prepare-rescue-image" or something like that that just do what
the Fedora rescue option do and mount what it can find on /mnt/sysimage.
The steps to mount a complete /mnt/sysimage are a more than a few and it
could help a lot not needing to type many things that an untrained
person could make a big mistake.
+1000 from me. I always have to google how to bind mount everything (dev, sys, proc) but that can easily be automated and should be.
Assuming the root partition contains /etc/fstab, a script should be able to handle this easily and abstract "everyday" users from the complexity.
Thanks,
