In theory, this should be getting done by default now (see
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=livecd;a=commitdiff;h=0e85e65b0e3f45d1...)
Seems to be only in theory. I checked in the preview release and the
update applet is initiated in the live cd and ends up downloading
metadata which can be of significant size and associated cost in a
bandwidth limited connection. The update applet should never be started
in a live cd environment.
