After a quick conference with Richard, I just committed a change to the
kickstart file to turn off command-not-found on the uninstalled live
image. We already turn off all the rest of PackageKit and, as you
noticed, command-not-found causes long waits because it has to download
repodata that would normally be available locally on an installed
system, but is missing on the live image.
