sounds great, thanks.

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.
