** Description changed:

- Boot Ubuntu ISO in Live testing mode.
+ Steps to reproduce. Create VM with networking off. Boot Ubuntu ISO to
+ Live testing mode.
  
  ls -a /var/lib/apt/lists/
  du -h /var/lib/apt/lists/
  du -h /var/lib/swcatalog/
  du -h /var/cache/swcatalog/cache/
  
- The amount is larger than I expected when you look at what wouldn't be
- installed from a non-live ISO due to live-build not cleaning up after
- appstream. This also glitches the snap store which falls back to
- appstream icons if they exist. On first run you can sometimes see them
- shifting around and glitching the UI as you work through the app on poor
- WiFi or cellular connections.
- 
- Debian has the same behavior for live ISOs but does not for the normal
- large ISOs.
+ Debian has the same for live ISOs not for large ISOs.
