I'm guessing what we're talking about here is something akin

ubuntu live desktop cd, as the 'install' icon on the desktop (haven't

clicked it yet, so I can only speculate as to what it does).
The basic gist would seem to be an anaconda that was happy running under a
window in X (like kadischi currently uses, but not rootpath, i.e. it does do
partitioning, but like rootpath in that it is more hands-off WRT the running
system).
Not particularly. It would use rootpath method, just with partitioning.
Partitioning and mounting the system under /mnt/sysimage is no problem
for Anaconda.
(Provided the work is done to make that happen).
Just so you aren't hanging on by the edge of your seat, I was able to
get Anaconda,
running from te LiveCD with Kadischi/Anaconda payload installed to right
at installing packages.
The place I stopped was during an exception in grabber.py in urlgrabber
module for Python while
trying to read the header files in /tmp/cache/headers saying xxx.hdr
doesn't exist in /tmp/cache.
I'm unsure if the Anaconda devs are interested in the porblems I've run
over also.
In any case hang tight, and I'll try to put together a concise list of
items needing fixing in Anaconda
for harddrive installations from the LiveCD.
