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/>. This happened while doing a full Mint 12.04 LMDE LXDE 32bit reinstall trying to recover from fatal usb storage reboot non-flush data corruption (quite likely kernel issue, f*ck). I installed base ISO, completed a dist-upgrade, then grabbed the package list of the previous broken install and installed all of those packages that were installable, and at this step things failed. Possibly something is missing a Conflicts: header somewhere, or something else? Thanks!
