Maybe my explanation helps. Think about it. There's no other way to install a system with a live-cd. Unless you want to download all packages from the net again.
greets Jimmy
It's fairly simple. You boot the live CD. It has services you don't want on installed to the USB drive. So, the installer script, prior to copy-all, just invokes the CD's own package manager and un-installs the unwanted packages from the running CD system. Then it performs the copy-all to hard disk.
Nothing extra to download, nothing extra to delete from the hard drive. All done with package management. Faster execution time and no bad error/warning messages.
Thank you Jimmy, Mark
