This directory is used to build a USB key containing a Kubuntu 8.04 LiveCD
with persistent OS files and persistent /home files.
+Note, the sqfs.tar.gz is the whole squashfs unsquashed.
+The kernel image (vmlinuz) is a copy of the most recent kernel i.e.
+ sqfs/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-22-generic
+and initrd.gz is a copy of the most recent initrd.img i.e
+
+ sqfs/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-22-generic
+
+they are renamed and put in the kubuntu8 partition in:
+
+ casper/vmlinuz
+and
+ casper/initrd.gz
+
+respectively.
+
+Note, initrd.gz is made after fixing the bug in
+/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper
+see note 2. in bugs with Kubuntu boot process below.
+
+When updating the USB root partition (changing something), I
+strongly recommend that you work with the disk image then
+repack it (pack_disk_image) and then run load_disk_image.
Packages needed:
1. The initrd.gz image must be opened, fixed and the repacked.
2. The fix involves removing the ,mode=755 from the mount line for
the persistent OS partition (casper-rw) or /cow
+3. I have removed /etc/rc0.d/S89casper and /etc/rc6.d/S89casper
+ because they are related to a CDROM boot and create false
+ errors when booting from a USB key.
