Debian Live boot cheatcodes

Debian Live persistent cd/usb/hdd info
http://live.debian.net/manual/html/persistence.html

BIG NOTE: I changed the persistence and overall booting features
Instead of a persistent file/partition named live-rw
I changed it to "xfce-rw" and the folder inside the iso
I changed to "xfce" vs "live"
So, when using persistent mode cd/usb
you must name the file/partition "xfce-rw"

Also, being around 400MB in size
you can boot "toram" mode and if using
the nopersistent default mode you will
not be mounted anywhere and may remove
cd/usb
using boot parameter "toram=filesystem.squashfs"
