(!) ["/Discussion"]


  • 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?FootNote(semi-official builds are already in place at project url.), that uses as much as possible official Debian packages and, for optional hard disk installation, the DebianInstaller.

A Debian Live system is a [http://www.debian.org 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 adopted so far includes a Debian version?FootNote(Although they should diverge for a very few lines after ubuntu's not so frequents re-merges.) of now live-initramfs (["DebianLive/live-initramfs"]) from Ubuntu to implement initramfs generation and boot time configuration of readonly rootfs (squashfs, ext2 and plain directory?FootNote(Mainly used for netboot.)) 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].
