 .B live-getty
-This enables a special "serial" login shell (experimental).
+This changes the auto-login on virtual terminals to use the (experimental) casper-getty code.
+With this option set the standard kernel argument "console=" is parsed and if a serial console is specified then casper-getty is used to autologin on the serial console.

 .BI "{live-media|bootfrom}=" DEVICE
 If you specify one of this two equivalent forms, casper will first try to find this device for the "/casper" directory where the read-only root filesystem should reside. If it did not find something usable, the normal scan for block devices is performed.

+Casper will mount the encrypted rootfs TYPE, asking the passphrase, useful to build paranoid live systems :-). TYPE supported so far are "aes" for loop-aes encryption type.

 .BI "live-media-offset=" BYTES
 This way you could tell casper that your image starts at offset BYTES in the above specified or autodiscovered device, this could be useful to hide the debian-live iso or image inside another iso or image, to create "clean" images.

 Configure the running locale as specified, if not present the live-media rootfs configured locale will be used and if also this one misses casper 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 it:IT.UTF-8), in this case if also "keyb=" is unspecified is set with those 2 lowercase letters (keyb=it).

 .BR "netboot[=" nfs "|" cifs ]
 This tells casper 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.

 .SH FILES
 .B /etc/live.conf
 some variables can be configured via this config file.
+.B /casper/order.lst
+This optional file contains a list of white-space or carriage-return-separated file names corresponding to disk images in the /casper 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 /casper directory are loaded in alphanumeric order.
