Snapshots will be tried to be updated on reboot/shutdown. Look at live\-snapshot(1) for more informations. If "nofiles" is specified, only filesystems with matching labels will be searched; no filesystems will be traversed looking for archives or image files. This results in shorter boot times. .IP "\fBpersistent\-path\fR=\fIPATH\fR" 4 live\-boot will look for persistency files in the root directory of a partition, with this parameter, the path can be configured so that you can have multiple directories on the same partition to store persistency files. +.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 -- 2.1.4
