** Description changed:

+ [Problem]
+ This bug appears because on live systems, new initrds are written to 
/cdrom/casper/initrd.lz.new (see special treatment of live systems in 
/usr/sbin/update-initramfs starting from line 9).
+ 
+ If you create a persistent live system via Startup Disk Creator and pull
+ the "How much" slider to the right as far as possible (what seems
+ sensible for most cases and users), all space not used for the system is
+ allocated for that documents-and-settings-ext2-file and there is no
+ space left on /cdrom. Therefore update-initramfs fails with that cryptic
+ lzma error code.
+ 
+ Perhaps Startup Disk Creator should leave some spare space on the live
+ medium even if the user chooses "use all remaining space available for
+ my live medium".
+
