Kubuntu 9.04RC1 LiveCD excessive hard drive activity, whilst idle

Hello all, I just tried out the Kubuntu 9.04 RC1 LiveCD on my desktop. After a couple of minutes it starts accessing the hard drives as well as the CD itself, causing an unresponsive system. This is while the system is idle otherwise. At first I thought it was some kind of indexing service. Wh
