.SH NAME
live\-initramfs \- Debian Live initramfs hook
Set the accessibility level for physically or visually impared users. ACCESS must be one of v1, v2, v3, m1, or m2. v1=lesser visual impairment, v2=moderate visual impairment, v3=blindness, m1=minor motor difficulties, m2=moderate motor difficulties.
.IP "\fBconsole=\fR\fITTY\fR,\fISPEED\fR" 4
Set the default console to be used with the "live\-getty" option. Example: "console=ttyS0,115200"
-.IP "\fBhostname=\fR\fIHOSTNAME\fR, \fBusername=\fR\fIUSERFULLNAME\fR, \fBusername=\fR\fIUSERNAME\fR"4
+.IP "\fBhostname=\fR\fIHOSTNAME\fR, \fBusername=\fR\fIUSER\fR, \fBuserfullname=\fR\fIUSERFULLNAME\fR"4
Those parameters lets you override values read from the config file.
.IP "\fBintegrity\-check\fR" 4
If specified, an MD5 sum is calculated on the live media during boot and compared to the value found in md5sum.txt found in the root directory of the live media.
.IP "\fBlive\-media\-timeout=\fR\fISECONDS\fR" 4
Set the timeout in seconds for the device specified by "live\-media=" to become ready before giving up.
.IP "\fB{locale|debian\-installer/locale}=\fR\fILOCALE\fR" 4
-Configure the running locale as specified, if not present the live\-media rootfs configured locale will be used and if also this one misses live\-initramfs behave as "locale=en_US.UTF\-8" was specified. If only 2 lowercase letter are specified (like "it"), the "maybe wanted" locale is generated (like ien:EN.UTF\-8), in this case if also "keyb=" is unspecified is set with those 2 lowercase letters (keyb=us). Beside that facility, only UTF8 locales are supported by live\-initramfs.

.IP "\fBmodule=\fR\fINAME\fR" 4
-Instead of using the default optional file "order.lst" (see below) another file could be specified without the extension ".lst"; it should be placed on "/live" directory of the live medium.
+Instead of using the default optional file "filesystem.module" (see below) another file could be specified without the extension ".module"; it should be placed on "/live" directory of the live medium.
.IP "\fBnetboot\fR[=nfs|cifs]" 4
This tells live\-initramfs to perform a network mount. The parameter "nfsroot=" (with optional "nfsopts="), should specify where is the location of the root filesystem. With no args, will try cifs first, and if it fails nfs.
+.IP "\fBnfsopts=\fR" 4
+This lets you specify custom nfs options.
.IP "\fBnoautologin\fR" 4
This parameter disables the automatic terminal login only, not touching gdk/kdm.
.IP "\fBnoxautologin\fR" 4
This parameter disables usage of local swap partitions.
.IP "\fBpersistent\fR" 4
live\-initramfs 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 \fIlive\-snapshot\fR(1) for more informations.
+.IP "\fB{preseed/file|file}=\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\-initramfs to reboot without attempting to eject the media and without asking the user to remove the boot media.
.IP "\fBshowmounts\fR" 4
Adding this parameter, live\-initramfs 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\-initramfs 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 "\fB{preseed/file|file}=\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 "\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
.B /etc/live.conf
some variables can be configured via this config file (inside the live system).
.TP
-.B /live/order.lst
+.B /live/filesystem.module
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 this list will be on the "top" of the unionfs, directly below /cow. Without this file, any images in the "/live" directory are loaded in alphanumeric order.
