If needed to install as in anaconda can not enable it during the 
installation faze
from the live cd and or there is no "speedup by disabled it.

That makes sense from an installed point of view not live cd.

That makes sense from an installed point of view not live cd unless
we start releasing updated live cd images, which btw we currently don't..

Then I was constantly being asked for the password which I already had
provided for the encrypted partition which means a bug, thou I think I
was being asked to proved password for the other encrypted partition I had.

I see live cd's as more as an introduction to Fedora as in allowing user to
to try, play and if like install Fedora.

Not something he's using on daily bases..
