I booted the KDE Live CD and left it sit there. A while later
I noticed the CD drive seeking like crazy; it was makewhatis
and prelink running. There can't be any point in running these,
can there?
Would you like to re-open:

?
Cheers,

Using the Gnome LiveCD, I noticed that beagled and updatedb
also ran after a few minutes. It did this even though the machine
wasn't plugged into AC. These processes chew energy like mad.

My marginal system is drooling all over itself as I type this as I try
to kill of enough processes to get it responsive. Is there any reason
at all to run anacron on the LiveCD? It has made my system comatose.

Because the LiveCD can be installed to run native on the system, and there you
want things like this to run. I think a good strategy for this is to add
support to either these cron jobs or the applications themselves to see if
they're running in a stateless environment and "opt-out" of running.

How about also checking whether the machine is running off of battery power?
Stuff that scans the whole hard drive seems inappropriate unless running
off of AC.

File a enhancement request for these preferably in GNOME bugzilla for
Beagle.

Adding to every application doesn't make sense, though; especially for
things triggered from cron/etc which we can just disable while the
liveCD is running from the liveCD case.
And it was intended to be done for test4, I just forgot about anacron
since it tends to be one of the first things I remove on my systems ;-)

Sure, that's a (good) way of doing it too (:
