This is a collaborative wiki to gather information and to discuss technologies to be 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 Debian Installer.

A Debian Live system is a [http://www.debian.org Debian] operating system preinstalled in some way, that does not require a classical installer to be used. It comes on media, like a cdrom, a usb-stick, or over a network.

In operation, it will require a boot process and hardware discovery (the same as Debian Installer), to launch a preinstalled rootfs.

The development process requires defining the key technologies to implement the kernel generation, the rootfs generation and the whole image generation (["DebianLive/make-live"]).

Key technologies discussed so far provide a modified casper (["DebianLive/casper"]) from Ubuntu to implement initramfs generation and boot time configuration of readonly rootfs (squashfs and ext2) made writable by a unions (unionfs) 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 [http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel list].
