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