Re: testing live-helper_1.0~a9-1
I am using debootstrap 0.3.3.3 on a Debian Lenny system. well, that's a debootstrap issue, not related to live-helper. Although you are free to use debootstrap, I stronly recommend cdebootstrap for one reason: it has less bugs and is actively maintained (debootstrap is on 'NMU if you think there is a problem'-only mode). One other anoying bug of debootstrap is, that it doesn't create the right device set in /dev; e.g. one cannot compile the bash package in it (not that this is here of importance, but I just mentioned it anyway). I tested it again with the latest cdebootstrap from unstable, and with that one it seems to work fine. It now finds the 'testing' suite. Also, the 'quickreboot' now works as expected.

How excactly do I make it towork with live-initramfs? Are we talking abount
the 'nopersistent' option when starting up the live Debian from USB?
I was talking about quickreboot. You can use live-initramfs by setting
LH_INITRAMFS to 'live-initramfs' in config/common, and, because it's
stuck in the NEW queue, copy /usr/share/exampes/live.sources.list to
config/chroot_sources/live.{build,image}.

You should copy it to the / (root) of a partition that resides on a

resync on reboot or when you call casper-snapshot with the resync
string that will be added on boot in /etc/casper.conf. (only if booted
with the persitent boot param).
Hmm, all I could find about this in the 'man casper-snapshot' was this:
-r, --resync-stringSTRING
internally used on resyncs.
Look at my suggestion above, I meant in my poor english that you should boot
your system once with the snapshot in the system, then look at the resync
string that will be created by casper on /etc/casper.conf. Then you can pass
it to casper-snapshot.
The syntax of the string is: SNAP=${snap_mount}:${snapdev}:${snapfile}
Where mount=/home or /root typically, snapdev something like /dev/sda1 for
usb, and snapfile something like casper-sn.cpio.gz
