Clearly you have specific things in mind when you say "read only" and "1:1", but truly I cannot make sense of either of them. In its strictest sense, a read-only system is absolutely useless. You must be able to write *somewhere* to store the changing state of the running system, even if only in a ramdisk. Live systems are such a system, with a read-only layer in a union filesystem with a cow (copy-on-write) layer in tmpfs. So if what you really want is a live system, why bother installing it? Just run the live system. What do you really mean by 1:1? A live system and an installed system are very different in how they boot and how they operate after they boot, so of course it is not really a 1:1 copy. You end up with a lot of the same material as you did on the live system, but the copy is not exact, as the live-specific bits are removed. But if the live-specific bits are removed, then it doesn't satisfy your "read-only" goal ... and again, if you wanted a read-only system, why not just run a live system? So I'm left confused by your terminology, because you haven't really explained what you want in the end. If you want to run a live system, you really don't want to use live-installer to install it. You just want to put the live system itself on the boot drive of your system (via, say, dd or so -- or if you don't want to wipe out all partitions on that drive, you'll have to just take the files themselves and manually set up the bootloader to boot into it).
