This includes the Debian Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick images. . At boot time it will look for a (read-only) media containing a "/live" directory where a root filesystems (often a compressed filesystem image like squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment, using unionfs, for Debian like systems to boot from. . You probably do not want to install this package onto a non-live system, although it will do no harm. . Homepage: . live-initramfs is a fork of casper .
