Yep, I remember the auto bits as well. While at the time, I think I was pushing you towards it, I think I'm now with you on the being conservative. It was pretty easy to set up to use an external drive, though. I had a partition with a dos filesystem, created the LiveOS/Fedora-8-Live-i686- file and booted with overlay=LABEL=foo (which was the label of my filesystem).
