+
+## About
+
+live-initramfs is a hook for the initramfs-tools, used to generate a initramfs capable to boot live systems, such as those created by live-helper. This includes the Debian Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick images.
+
+At boot time it will look for a (read-only) media containing a "/live" directory where a root filesystems (often a compressed filesystem image like squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment, using aufs or unionfs, for Debian like systems to boot from.
+
+You probably do not want to install this package onto a non-live system, although it will do no harm.
+
+live-initramfs is a fork of [casper](http://packages.ubuntu.com/casper/).
