Installing Fedora-9 from Live CD - silent update

I just installed F-9 on a ThinkPad T43 from the KDE Live CD.
All went well, but after the installation
I was told that there were some important updates to install.
I agreed to the installation, but thereafter as far as I could see
I was given no information about its progress.
I saw from "top" that system-update was running,
and I could see that there was some disk activity -
but it was strange (to me) that I did not get
the usual report on yum activity.

If this normally occurs, it seems to me that it could cause problems,
since someone might easily re-boot while the installation
was only half-say through, leaving something of a mess.
