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.
+aufs, 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.

This optional file (inside the live media) contains a list of white-space or
carriage-return-separated file names corresponding to disk images in the "/live"
directory. If this file exists, only images listed here will be merged into the
-root unionfs, and they will be loaded in the order listed here. The first entry
-in this file will be the "lowest" point in the unionfs, and the last file in
