as discarded, but if there are many it can indicate a serious problem or
a disk going bad. This can be usually detected by reading the current
"pending sector count" value from smartctl.

A LiveCD barely uses the hard disk but the CD media, it's fully loaded
from RAM memory.

A missing package does not have to trigger badlocks.
