Not if you're FreeBSD :) Scott Long has publically expressed interest
in the installer; this is the #1 obstacle to its adoption there. (It's
already been shown, thanks to FreeSBIE, that it works when running from
a FreeBSD LiveCD.)
Along similar lines, and AFAICT, the #1 obstacle to FreeBSD adopting a
LiveCD as its main distribution medium is a continuing desire to have a
floppy-based install. But I dunno, there might be other reasons.
A 'LiveFloppy' system would be, well, a whooooooooole lotta diskettes
(*flashback to several unsuccessful attempts at installing OS/2 Warp*)
