Do you mean dual booting or do you mean running one be emulation

Last I checked you could do either with Fedora.

The problem with that -- How do you tell the hardware which system to boot?

Several questions come to mind. Maybe it would be good to start with
which live CD?
You should be aware that debian has a live install CD which is not the
equivalent of a Fedora spin. I finally figured that out last week. The
equivalent of Fedora spins would probably be a downstream from the
live project:
http://live.debian.net/project/downstream/
In other words, what are you trying to accomplish?
