LiveCD installer

How's the LiveCD installer? Is it the good old Anaconda?

I'm tempted to install Fedora with the LiveCD this time. Save 1 dvd plus some bandwidth...

yes, this is the Anaconda installer but updated specifically for Live installation - it's very similar to the "normal" Anaconda. Additionally, the LiveCD comes with Gparted and NTFS-3G thanks to which I was able to resize Windows partitions to make room for Fedora on my computer at work without loosing any data :-)

I had some issues with the KDE RC2 CD. It would *seem* to me that the live images might not get as much testing as the full install media.
