I don't understand what you're trying to achieve. The live and install
images are one and the same.
The Installer is basically a glorified file copy operation, copying
the live image to your installation target, and a couple variables for
running first boot scripts.
If you've ever run Installer from an installed partition to another
partition, it basically clones your installed system, so all your
settings come along with it. It's actually a very nifty feature :-) I
did that when my system partition filled up.
Cheers,
