The package live-manual is also available in the repos for Stable,
Testing and Sid with the appropriate manual for each version.
Packages available for testing and sid are currently at the same version
number.
Can't personally say how it works out as I have not used it since Squeeze.

No worries, I understand. However, for completeness and to avoid
misunderstanding, I'll point out that the manual does exist, although
not at its original location but at
http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/stable/manual/html/live-manual.en.html
In fact your question is answered in section 6.2.
But yes, it's unfortunate that this whole sorry episode took place in
the first place and left the project in this state. Here's to
live-wrapper to take its place sooner than later, so that we can
forget it. Some documentation is being produced at the moment, so
that's heartening:

team working on it.

Hi, Pablo:
I appreciate the response, but I'm holding out for updated
documentation everyone can find and use.

And I could never find a step by step set of instructions
to create a preseeded install medium from a Debian live
image that included the nonfree repository. Such a medium
would have been a restore USB thumb drive for a laptop, to
include wifi drivers from which to run the install
entirely from wifi instead of having to use an Ethernet
connection.
The documentation needs to be available and updated.

Hello Brian,
*** Re: the lack of documentation
Unfortunately, November 2015 saw a drama surrounding
Debian Live. You can get a summary at
https://lwn.net/Articles/665839/
From a user's point of view, the upside is that a new
tool is being developed, and debian-live will still be
available in the mean time. The downside is that the
original site is gone and the documentation is a bit
difficult to find. I personally read it at
http://debian-live.alioth.debian.org/live-manual/stable/manual/html/live-manual.en.html
*** Re: keyboard layouts
I haven't played much with that, but I think it might
be possible with a preseed config? See an example here
on lines 3-4 (where I had to comment it out because
not all keyboards at my place are the same):
https://github.com/pablobm/w2c3-livecd/blob/master/config/includes.binary/install/preseed.cfg
*** /lib/live/mount/medium
No idea. What do you want to do?
*** Re: CDs being from the past
My undestanding is that the new tool will have that
aspiration, but I'm not actually following it, so take
my word with a pinch of salt.

Dear debian-live team
I can't find any documentation about Debian Live?
E.g. what's the username and password?.....I did
find it on Google after some time...but that
should not be source of the most basic and vital
information.
Another simple questions is how to change keyboard
layout. I expect at least half of the users of
Debian Live uses a different layout.....it would
be nice if it was more easy to change for all of us.
I did found a way to change it on Google (but
nothing I will be able to remember)....so now I
need to keep a note together with my Live USB key!
I never found a way to make it persistent.though.
Can I edit a file in /lib/live/mount/medium?
As the vast majority do use a writeable medium
(USB flash) and not a read-only CD-ROM...it would
be nice if it was more easy to change persistently.
Another thing:
I guess no one use CD-ROMs these days.....I
haven't had a drive in my laptops for MANY years!
Maybe it's time to stop aiming Debian Live to a
CD-ROM media, and stop using it in titles, guide
etc. At least not as the
primary media/option....we moved to USB flash
drives many years ago ;-)
When I read the limited pages and documentation
about Live, it's almost as USB flash keys are a
brand new technology that most people haven't
started using yet.
Thanks.in advance.
Brian
