Description of problem: With F20 Alpha TC5 Live, anaconda pulls in dnf into the compose. After being inside the LiveCD for a moment, I noticed dnf taking considerable cpu time (it was a slow machine and it was quite visible). It seems that the makecache timer is running on LiveCD as well. That downloads repo metadata and performs some operations on them, probably. That a) slows down operation/installation b) uses more RAM (because the root disk is memory-mapped). We should stop caching repo metadata on livecd, it's really not necessary. It can be achieved for example by using this systemd condition: > ConditionKernelCommandLine=!rd.live.image That should disable the service/timer on LiveCD. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F20 Alpha TC5 Live dnf-0.4.0-1.gitbfccb5c.fc20.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot F20 Alpha TC5 Live 2. wait 10 or more minutes, see top 3. check /var/cache/dnf
