If I understand you correctly, you perform a live boot from the disk that you want to erase. And then (without 'toram') you can't format it, because you need access to the filesystem.squashfs file (which is then being removed)

Yes. With toram you don't need access to a boot device anymore after successful boot. You can even format or wipe it. And this is what was asked at the beginning of this thread.

I get it. But it eludes me how you do so. I guess that I don't understand why you need 'toram'.

A regular live iso image is typically transferred to some other medium (USB pen, DVD/CDROM). In such case, there is no need to wipe the boot medium while being booted from the live environment, because you can wipe the USB pen instead of filling it with the live system.

How do you prepare the computer that needs to erased?

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
