I didn't achieve this step, which is blocking.
I tried:
1) use "clone tails" from tails experimental
First, a message is displayed in the white log box asking to click Next to
continue. I first didn't realize this was not a log but I had to do
somethong.
I clicked on "Next" and then got "Failure while creating live USB"
asking to click "Next" again.
Clicking next, the installer now complains that there is less than 4G
free, while the USB stick is actually 4G. It refuse to continue.
2) use tails 0.10.1 use "Clone Tails" from feature/usb_installer .deb
There is no menu entry "Clone Tails".
I started liveusb creator using the commandline in the .desktop. It
seems to work but install 0.10.1, which is not useful to test
persistence.
3) use tails 0.10.1 use "install from ISO" from feature/usb_installer .deb
Seems to work, but at the end it fails:
Installing bootloader...
Unmounting /dev/sdd1
Failed to add parition1 (permission denied)
coericting to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found
LiveUSB creation failed!
coericting to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found
I tried to boot that key anyway, but my BIOS shout "Missing OS"
So I stoped my testing here...
An additional issue, which might be a feature, is that tails
experimental seems not to be an hybrid iso anymore, which would force to
burn a CD for the first step, or to cheet whth isohybrid as I did.
Cheers,
Alan
