(!) ?/Discussion

Note: Almost all content here will eventually be revised and merged into the live-manual. Please do not add new content to the wiki, but contribute to the manual directly.

This is a collaborative wiki to gather information and to discuss technologies used to produce a complex framework to enable production of official Debian Live systems, that uses as much as possible official Debian packages and, for optional hard disk installation, the DebianInstaller.

A Debian Live system is a Debian system that can be booted directly from removable media (CD-ROMs, DVDs, USB keys) or from another computer over the network. This allows you to build a Live image Debian just once, and subsequently boot it on multiple machines.

The currently supported architectures are: i386, amd64, sparc and powerpc.

Key technologies are live-helper suite to autobuild images non-interactively, and live-initramfs (?DebianLive/live-initramfs) to implement initramfs generation and boot time configuration of a readonly rootfs (squashfs, ext2 and plain directory1) made writable by a unions (aufs) with a ramdisk or customizable writable fs.

Resources for information is http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/ and to discuss are this wiki, the IRC channel #debian-live at oftc ( irc://irc.oftc.net/#debian-live ) and the mailing list.
