** Summary changed:

- updatedb running when running ubuntu from the live cd
+ updatedb scanning cd when running ubuntu from the live cd

** Description changed:

  I was running ubuntu on a laptop from the 7:10 live cd, when the sistem
- got completely freezed.
+ got completely freezed. The system had been up for at least 24 hours.
  
  Unique signal of life: the cd running very actively.
  
  The mouse wasn't freezed, sometimes I could move its cursor. But a
  gnome-terminal I had opened was freezed, and so all the other
- application I was running. Only the cd continued live, and I could hear
- that the sistem was reading a lot from it.
+ application I was running. I couldn't switch to the console ( ctl-
+ alt-f1). Only the cd continued spinning, and I could hear that the
+ sistem was reading a lot from it.
  
  I hadn't any other application that could be responsible of using the
  cd.
  
  Since I hadn't installed the ssh-server, I couldn't log from another pc.
  Anyway, I suspect the ssh server could not have the time slice to answer
  the request.
  
  The only explanation I see is that a cron job has run updatedb, and it
  has begun to read all the filesystem without realizing the system files
  in the live cd weren't worth controlling.
