I think the biggest problem for the live CD is that it gives you no idea
when it's 'processing' (checking yum info), so if you boot live, and
type a command that doesn't exist...you get to sit at a console that
just says 'Command not found.' for about 3 minutes while it goes out and
gets yum metadata. It's easy to assume it's just broken. A big help for
updaters and future releases would just be for it to indicate that it's
searching.
After a quick conference with Richard, I just committed a change to the
kickstart file to turn off command-not-found on the uninstalled live
image. We already turn off all the rest of PackageKit and, as you
noticed, command-not-found causes long waits because it has to download
repodata that would normally be available locally on an installed
system, but is missing on the live image.
