Thats a question of detection and we may or may not provide that detection.

We are providing info about gnome 3.10, whether its installed from
ISO, run from a live ISO or pre-installed disk images is not very
relevant to the question of whether we should provide info about it or
not.

They can't possibly be drastically different given, can they? If you
want to do this research, that would be lovely of course but for now
its better to provide at least some close approximation to the actual
requirement than not providing any.
