 .SH NAME
-live\-webhelper \- Debian Live initramfs hook
+live\-webhelper \- Debian Live helper programs (web frontend)
 
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-live\-initramfs is a hook for the initramfs\-tools, used to generate a initramfs capable to boot live systems, such as those created by \fIlive\-helper\fR(7). This includes the Debian Live isos, netboot tarballs, and usb stick images.
+Live\-helper is a collection of programs that can be used to build Debian Live system images. The philosophy behind live\-helper is to provide a collection of small, simple, and easily understood tools that can be used in your own program to automate building of a Live system.
 .PP
-At boot time it will look for a (read\-only) media containing a "/live" directory where a root filesystems (often a compressed filesystem image like squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment, using unionfs, for Debian like systems to boot from.
+A typical program that uses live\-helper will call several live\-helper commands in sequence. Live\-helper commands are all named with a "lh_" prefix. Examples of such a program that uses live\-helper is \fImake\-live\fR(1).
 .PP
-live\-initramfs is a fork of casper <\fIhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/casper/\fR>. casper was originally written by Tollef Fog Heen <\fItfheen at canonical.com\fR> and Matt Zimmerman <\fImdz at canonical.com\fR>.
+This package contains the web frontend.
