yes, it is possible. Put the live CD in, and press ctrl+s when you hear 
the drums, that will start Orca, and focus will be on the orca window, 
alt+tab to switch to the installer window and from there you can run a 
live session or go through the install. It is a bit clunky in places and 
we plan for it to be better in 12.04
