.TH LIVE\-TOOLS 8 2015\-09\-25 5.0~a2-1 "Live Systems Project"

.SH NAME
\fBlive\-update\-initramfs\fR \- writes out updated kernel and initrd images to the live media.

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBlive\-update\-initramfs\fR is a wrapper replacing the update\-initramfs command provided by the initramfs-tools package.
.PP
In live\-systems with a persistence layer, \fBlive\-update\-initramfs\fR will write out updated kernel and initrd images to the live media. This allows kernel upgrades from within the live\-system through apt\-get without needing to manually synchronise kernel and initrd to the live\-medium. \fBlive\-update\-initramfs\fR passes through all command-line arguments to the original update\-initramfs command; see \fIupdate\-initramfs.orig.initramfs\-tools\fR(8) for more information about the options of the original update\-initramfs command.
