Thank you.
I'll study these reports thoroughly later,
and am now only asking questions about information that is missing,
and replying to some trivial points.

That will be great. Some day.

That's not for every new ISO. After the transition to 0.11 installed
using the USB installer is done, using "only" two sticks will be
possible, thanks to the possibility to put the ISO in the
persistent space.

The version you've been testing sets the *partition* label to
TailsData, but it sets no *filesystem* label. We, and some of our
tools, are more used to filesystem labels. So please double check
you're not meaning "the label of the filesystem was not set to
TailsData".
FYI, current tails-persistence-setup in Git also sets the filesystem
label to TailsData.

What do you mean? Wasn't the LUKS container setup? Or wasn't
a filesystem created inside the LUKS container? Or wasn't there any
file created inside that filesystem?

... and there's no "enable persistence" GUI?
(I think that's the bug anonym recently fixed in live-persist.
Should be fixed in current experimental branch, I think.
Please confirm or disagree.)

Previous?

This is fixed in current experimental Git branch already, isn't it?

Yeah. You're not a sudoer.

Not being a sudoer gives better security.
Being a sudoer allows to perform administration operations.
What's unclear?
