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