#Fedora 23 workstation system install

When a Live CD or Live DVD (a LiveOS image on read-only disc media) is booted, temporary storage is prepared for the system in RAM on each boot by /sbin/dmsquash-live-root in initrd.img, the initial ramdisk filesystem. The booted LiveOS image can be sourced by the source shortcut 'live' and the booted LiveOS device can be targeted by the target shortcut 'live'.

The livecd-iso-to-disk installation script allows one to install from and to a booted LiveOS device and to select any of the installed images as the source for a new installation by using its directory path as the source parameter, for example, /run/initramfs/live/sYBm. The target directory may be optionally specified by the option of livecd-iso-to-disk. Subsequent images are installed in sister directories with randomly assigned, 4 character names, such as /sYBm. The first live image is installed by default in the device's /LiveOS directory.

Version 24.2 or greater of livecd-tools will offer to configure the device bootloader to give a Multi Live Image Boot Menu for the device if the target device contains an existing LiveOS image. The livecd-iso-to-disk -multi option allows one to install more than one LiveOS image on a single device. With large capacity USB/SD disc drives readily available, it is convenient to install multiple images on one device.

Booting live images - from the dracut initramfs command line manual.

This page shares some critical information about the LiveOS design that helps users take better advantage of their more-limited-than-usual filesystem storage resources. Since the image file systems are stored in the /LiveOS folder of the image, this is the name we'll use to reference the product.
