.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.conf.d/), or on the live media (live/boot.conf, live/boot.conf.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/), or on the live media (live/boot.conf, live/boot.d/).
.SH OPTIONS
\fBlive\-boot\fR currently features the following parameters.
Lun 0 Path=<path-to-your-live-image.iso>,Type=fileio,IOMode=ro
# If you want to boot multiple machines you might want to look at tuning some parameters like
# Wthreads or MaxConnections
+.IP "\fBfromiso\fR=\fI/PATH/TO/IMAGE\fI" 4
+Allows to use a filesystem from within an iso image that's available on live-media.
.IP "\fBignore_uuid\fR" 4
Do not check that any UUID embedded in the initramfs matches the discovered medium. live\-boot may be told to generate a UUID by setting LIVE_GENERATE_UUID=1 when building the initramfs.
.IP "\fBintegrity\-check\fR" 4
Do not prompt to eject the CD or remove the USB flash drive on reboot.
.IP "\fBswapon\fR" 4
This parameter enables usage of local swap partitions.
-.IP "\fBnoxautoconfig\fR" 4
-This parameter disables Xorg auto\-reconfiguration at boot time. This is valuable if you either do the detection on your own, or, if you want to ship a custom, premade xorg.conf in your live system.
.IP "\fBpersistent\fR[=nofiles]" 4
live\-boot will look for persistent and snapshot partitions or files labeled "live\-rw", "home\-rw", and files called "live\-sn*", "home\-sn*" and will try to, in order: mount as /cow the first, mount the second in /home, and just copy the contents of the latter in appropriate locations (snapshots). 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
This parameter will make live\-boot to show on "/" the ro filesystems (mostly compressed) on "/live". This is not enabled by default because could lead to problems by applications like "mono" which store binary paths on installation.
.IP "\fBsilent\fR" 4
If you boot with the normal quiet parameter, live\-boot hides most messages of its own. When adding silent, it hides all.
-.IP "\fBtextonly\fR" 4
-Start up to text\-mode shell prompts, disabling the graphical user interface.
.IP "\fBtodisk\fR=\fIDEVICE\fR" 4
Adding this parameter, live\-boot will try to copy the entire read\-only media to the specified device before mounting the root filesystem. It probably needs a lot of free space. Subsequent boots should then skip this step and just specify the "live\-media=DEVICE" boot parameter with the same DEVICE used this time.
.IP "\fBtoram\fR" 4
Adding this parameter, live\-boot will try to copy the whole read\-only media to the computer's RAM before mounting the root filesystem. This could need a lot of ram, according to the space used by the read\-only media.
.IP "\fBunion\fR=aufs|unionfs\fR" 4
By default, live\-boot uses aufs. With this parameter, you can switch to unionfs.
-.IP "\fBxdebconf\fR" 4
-Uses xdebconfigurator, if present on the rootfs, to configure X instead of the standard procedure (experimental).
-.IP "\fBxvideomode\fR=\fIRESOLUTION\fR" 4
-Doesn't do xorg autodetection, but enforces a given resolution.
