Hm, pretty much everyone has been offering live CD/DVD with desktop
installers for a while now, openSUSE will even let you install from a
Live Windows session. If it works as well as you say I'm still
surprised that Fedora ect has not jumped on it.

I take it that it will only pick up profiles on the same HDD then? So
in other words if you was looking to resize the partition (not erase)
you should be good to go?

Yes but if you decided that the Ubuntu install was a bag of doggy doo
doo you could install Fedora using the importer, makes sense to me.

With regards RHEL that goes without saying.

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release
System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a
snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a
fresh install the command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
