18 Description: Debian Live initramfs hook
19 live-initramfs is a hook for the initramfs-tools, used to generate a initramfs
20 capable to boot live systems, such as those created by live-helper. This
21 includes the Debian Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick images.
23 At boot time it will look for a (read-only) media containing a "/live"
24 directory where a root filesystems (often a compressed filesystem image like
25 squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment, using
26 aufs or unionfs, for Debian like systems to boot from.
28 You probably do not want to install this package onto a non-live system,
29 although it will do no harm.
31 live-initramfs is a fork of casper <http://packages.ubuntu.com/casper/>.
