Yes, it's much much much faster; we simply do "dd if=os.img of=/dev/sda2" [1] and once that is done we "e2resizefs /dev/sda2" and finally we configure the system. If you run the live CD from RAM then the install time takes 3-4 minutes (on a 2GHz system with 1GB RAM). If not running the live CD from RAM then it's around 7-8 minutes.
Some time next week I'll post an RPM (to fedora-livecd-list) that you can install onto the FC6 live CD (remember it got a rw rootfs) so testing can commence. The installer is text based right now but writing a small GTK+ app for this is relatively easy.

Thank you, David! I'm waiting impatiently for your package :)
Cheers,
