You're not out of luck though. After the installer copies the ext4
install image, anaconda could run "btrfs-convert /dev/foo" and give you
a btrfs file system. The user even has the option to roll-back to ext4
later (with the caveat of losing any btrfs changes).

Just a thought.

Didn't Quite got my answer, the thing is, I Know in Fedora's 15 DVD we will have the Option to select BTRFS as the Default filesystem.

I was wondering if there's a way to pass this option or have it using the LiveCD images to install, I just Dont Like the DVD 

The Idea is to ask anaconda to format the most of my HDD as it can with BTRFS when I install F15. Will I be able to do this from the LiveCD?

As Michael said, there's a convenient utility to convert your ext4 to btrfs, which can be installed with a few commands (if it doesn't come on the LiveCD).
This is actually a Good Thing since btrfs doesn't even have fsck yet and so isn't meant for the average user.

BTW, I tried using btrfs on a test machine and managed to kill it completely in a few hours without trying.
