No, not really.Although I suspect all the tools exist on the liveCD such that a Linux *EXPERT* could accomplish the op's goal.
Consider the flowing sequence of events.1. Your grandmother has been been using a proprietary OS and its associated browser/email program. IOW, computer literate enough to be comfortable
being a _user_.2. You talk up the advantages of Linux and give her a liveCD, demonstrating
how to boot and do her favorite three tasks.3. One morning, while you are at work, she decides she will install Debian. After all that inviting 'install icon' is on screen and she has liked her
experience. 4. She clicks install.5. She is asked a question and does not know what a key word/idea means.
She knows she could Google it. But no connection to WEB. 6. Linux declared uninstallable :<[I'm tempted to paraphrase the nursery rhyme starting "For want of ..."]
