 .SH DESCRIPTION
-Casper is an hook for initramfs-tools used to boot live systems like those created by make-live, this includes the Debian-Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick image and Ubuntu live cds. At boot time it will look for a (often read only) media containing a "/casper" directory where root filesystems (often squashfs compressed) lies and create, using unionfs, a writable environment for debian like systems to boot from.
