.SH NAME
\fBlive\-boot\fR \- System Boot Scripts
In addition, there are some more boot parameters to influence the behaviour, see below.
.SS Configuration Files
-\fBlive\-boot\fR can be configured (but not activated) through configuration files. Those files can be placed either in the root filesystem itself (/etc/live/boot.conf, /etc/live/boot.d/), or on the live media (live/boot.conf, live/boot.d/).
+\fBlive\-boot\fR can be configured (but not activated) through configuration files. Those files can be placed either in the root filesystem itself (/etc/live/boot.conf, /etc/live/boot.d/*.conf), or on the live media (live/boot.conf, live/boot.d/*.conf).
.SH OPTIONS
\fBlive\-boot\fR currently features the following parameters.
.IP "\fBswapon\fR" 4
This parameter enables usage of local swap partitions.
.IP "\fBpersistent\fR" 4
-live\-boot will probe filesystems for persistent media. These can either be the filesystems themselves, if labeled correctly, or image/archive files, if named correctly. Overlays are labeled/named either "live\-rw" or "home\-rw" and will be mounted on / or /home, respectively; snapshots are labeled/named either "live\-sn" or "home\-sn" and will be extracted into / or /home, respectively (see live\-snapshot(1) for more information). Overlays are mounted before snapshots are extracted, and for both overlays and snapshots, "live\-*" are handled before "home\-*". Overlay image files and snapshot archive files have extensions which determines their filesystem or archive type, e.g. "live\-rw.ext3" and "\home\-sn.squashfs".
+live\-boot will probe devices for persistent media. These can be partitions (with the correct GPT name), filesystems (with the correct label) or image/archive files (with the correct file name). Overlays are labeled/named either "full\-ov", which will be mounted on /, or "custom\-ov", which can be completely customized (see \fIlive.persist\fR(5)); snapshots are labeled/named either "live\-sn" or "home\-sn" and will be extracted into / or /home, respectively (see \fIlive\-snapshot\fR(1) for more information). The order these are handled are: full\-ov, custom\-ov, live-sn, home-sn. Overlay image files and snapshot archive files have extensions which determines their filesystem or archive type, e.g. "custom\-ov.ext4" and "\home\-sn.squashfs".
.IP "\fBpersistent\-encryption\fR=\fITYPE1\fR,\fITYPE2\fR ... \fITYPEn\fR" 4
This option determines which types of encryption that we allow to be used when probing devices for persistent media. If "none" is in the list, we allow unencrypted media; if "luks" is in the list, we allow LUKS\-encrypted media. Whenever a device containing encrypted media is probed the user will be prompted for the passphrase. The default value is "none".
.IP "\fBpersistent\-media\fR={\fIremovable\fR|\fIremovable\-usb\fR}" 4
This option determines which types of persistent storage to consider when probing for persistent media. If "filesystem" is in the list, filesystems with matching labels will be used; if "file" is in the list, all filesystems will be probed for archives and image files with matching filenames. The default is "file,filesystem".
.IP "\fBpersistent\-subtext\fR=\fISUFFIX\fR" 4
Add a suffix when searching for the image filenames or partition labels to use for the above mentioned persistent feature, the SUFFIX will be added after a dash (e.g.: "live-sn" would transform to "live-sn-SUFFIX"). This is handy to test multiple live-boot based live-systems with different persistent storage choices.
-.IP "{\fBpreseed/file\fR|\fBfile\fR}=\fIFILE\fR" 4
-A path to a file present on the rootfs could be used to preseed debconf database.
-.IP "\fBpackage/question\fR=\fIVALUE\fR" 4
-All debian installed packages could be preseeded from command\-line that way, beware of blanks spaces, they will interfere with parsing, use a preseed file in this case.
.IP "\fBquickreboot\fR" 4
This option causes live\-boot to reboot without attempting to eject the media and without asking the user to remove the boot media.
.IP "\fBshowmounts\fR" 4
