Hello all, another two cents worth,
I think it would be wise to choose at least one compression technology and also use copy-on-write filesystems as this will allow maximum useability and least change to the installed distribution.
It would also be nice if the distro image generated for the CD was part of the Fedora installation processes, the workstation image is not suitable. A custom distro image should developed which includes some of the workstation and server set of RPMs and could be called the fedora demo or live cd image.
The Xendemo CD is a good starting point as this would the CD start multiple copies of Linux as well. The startup scripts are easy to understand and writing a new set of scripts for the Fedora livecd will not take long.
This is an interesting idea. I know anaconda can run in a test mode where it just installs into a chroot. You could use that to have a super-easy graphical way to select what you want on your live cd. Like a graphical installer that installs onto a live-cd.
