But I cannot execute anything located on the other side of a mount
point.  So I cannot execute executables located on a mounted floppy
or a mounted CDROM, or a copy of a CDROM into a mounted spare
partition.  Permission Denied.

So how would someone actually do a live_update?

Is live_update restricted to doing an update of the partition in
which it is running, or can one specify another Linux partition to be
updated?    Can it do an initial install into another virgin ext2
partition?
