It doesn't really mean that. The difference is that live image installs
perform no package transactions. They just, more or less, dump the live
image onto the target disk.
An install from the network install images actually downloads RPMs and
performs a package transaction, and it's during this that you're
hitting the problem. It's natural the same would not happen on a live
install.
