enable installation of Qubes from live USB/CD/DVD #1965

Open mfc opened 8 years ago

Obviously this pre-supposes a functional Qubes Live USB (https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1018, https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1552) however this is meant to track the larger UX goal of the user being able to install Qubes on the system they are running the Qubes Live USB/DVD/CD.

Probably worth having a C: live-usb label.

Is there much more to this than having a desktop shortcut to run anaconda?

Probably yes, to not double the size of the image (both installed system and RPM packages). On Fedora Live image it is done by installing the system by copying live system into fresh partition (instead of unpacking rpm packages). And then running some fixups to convert live system to non-live one. That fixup stage needs to be done specific to Qubes.
