In my opinion, the search-based shell overview makes this kind of
redundancy less problematic than it was in a traditional menu system.
But yes, it is a bit of a wart that anaconda and its dependencies end up
on the installed system when installing from a live-cd.

Does it actually provide this functionality now ? Have you tried ? I
know that the goal is to eventually support it, but I am not positive
that the feature will be in 3.4 / F17.
