X-Git-Tag: debian/3.0_a23-1~18
X-Git-Url: http://git.grml.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=959403d20e2259c10de7ef55b9226c40812eabd7;p=live-boot-grml.git

Adding persistent-method=METHOD...

The comma-separated list METHOD... specifies which types of persistent
setups we allow. Current possible METHODs are {snapshot, overlay}. The
default value is both, i.e. persistent-method=snapshot,overlay.
