Problem solved. The latest 3.x version of live-boot work out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and both squashfs files are mounted correctly! All I did was to install the 3 deb package in http://live.debian.net/files/3.x/packages/live-boot/3.0.1-1/ :-) On Thu, Oct 24, 2013 at 12:07 AM, Ka-Hei Law

So if I create a file "live/filesystem.module" and put my multiple squashfs filenames in it, live-boot will mount and overlay/merge all the contained filesystems? That's pretty nice! On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 12:14 PM, Daniel Baumann < daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net> wrote: > On 10/23/20

With casper, I can put a "casper-sn.squashfs" file at the root of the USB flash drive and the content will be overlaid to the root. I've read the great documentation at http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual.en.html as well as some related man pages but I see no reference of using s

2013-10-23 Thread Ka-Hei Law
With casper, the "show-cow" boot parameter makes the /cow filesystem visible. The /cow filesystem contains all the file changed in a live CD session, so I can capture them to a persistence image when I want to. The closest boot parameter available in live-boot is "showmounts". However, showmounts
