Title:
  Should not allow kernel upgrade attempt on Live CD

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: casper

  I downloaded the Lucid alpha3 ISO and booted it in Virtualbox.  I then
  ran "sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude upgrade".  It attempted to
  upgrade the running kernel, although this should not be possible when
  booting off an ISO.

  (It also ran out of disk and crashed with a bus error, but those
  problems too might have been avoided if it hadn't tried to upgrade the
  kernel.)

  I'm aware of bug #292159 -- this is sort of the converse case.  I'm
  also mentioning this because the trivial fix -- to hard-code something
  to prevent users of a live image from attempting to upgrade -- will
  wreck the use case of upgrading a USB live image.
