-A Debian Live system is a generalization of this paradigm and thus supports other media in addition to CDs; but still, in its default behaviour, it should be considered read-only and all the runtime evolutions of the system are lost at shutdown.

-Persistence is a common name for different kinds of solutions for saving across reboots some, or all, of this runtime evolution of the system. To understand how it could work it could be handy to know that even if the system is booted and run from read-only media, modification to the files and directories are written on writable media, typically a ram disk (tmpfs) and ram disks' data do not survive reboots.

To understand how it could work it could be handy to know that even if the system is booted and run from read-only media, modification to the files and directories are written on writable media, typically a ram disk (tmpfs) and ram disks' data do not survive reboots.
The data stored on this ramdisk should be saved on a writable persistent medium like a Hard Disk, a USB key, a network share or even a session of a multisession (re)writable CD/DVD. All these media are supported in Debian Live in different ways, and all but the last one require a special boot parameter to be specified at boot time: #{persistent}#.
3~ Full persistence
-By 'full persistence' it is meant that instead of using a tmpfs for storing modifications to the read-only media (with the copy-on-write, COW, system) a writable partition is used. In order to use this feature a partition with a clean writable supported filesystem on it labeled "live-rw" must be attached on the system at bootime and the system must be started with the boot parameter 'persistent'. This partition could be an ext2 partition on the hard disk or on a usb key created with, e.g.:

3~ Snapshots
-Snapshots are collections of files and directories which are not mounted while running but which are copied from a persistent device to the system (tmpfs) at boot and which are resynced at reboot/shutdown of the system. The content of a snapshot could reside on a partition or an image file (like the above mentioned types) labeled #{live-sn}#, but it defaults to a simple cpio archive named #{live-sn.cpio.gz}#. As above, at boot time, the block devices connected to the system are traversed to see if a partition or a file named like that could be found. A power interruption during runtime could lead to data loss, hence a tool invoked #{live-snapshot --refresh}# could be called to sync important changes. This type of persistence, since it does not write continuously to the persistent media, is the most flash-based device friendly and the fastest of all the persistence systems.

3~ Partial remastering
-The runtime modification of the tmpfs could be collected using live-snapshot in a squashfs and added to the cd by remastering the iso in the case of cd-r or adding a session to multisession cd/dvd(rw); live-initramfs mounts all /live filesystem in order or with the module bootparameter.

2~ What is a live system?
-A live system usually means an operating system booted on a computer from a removable medium, such as a CD-ROM or USB stick, or from a network, ready to use without any installation on the usual drive(s), with auto-configuration done at runtime (see {Terms}#terms ).

With Debian Live, it's a Debian GNU/Linux operating system, built for one of the supported architectures (currently amd64, i386, powerpc and sparc). It is made from the following parts:
