The "big tarball" is the live image you've booted, which gets uncompressed and expanded. Obviously, it includes enough information that the packages on the install can then be upgraded or removed just as they would be on any install. The exception is that it does require a reboot to check that the newly install system will boot: given the state of firmware interfaces and the number of storage setups, this is probably necessary. (Of course, there are a few more details, like adding users).

most, if not all installable live cd's do this - ubuntu, openSUSE. I agree that it's a good way of doing things - if users want more control there's a full install (the openSUSE promo DVD does offer these options at once: two installable livecd's AND a full, traditional install).
