FYI, in latest and greatest liveusb-creator, there's no more Clone
launcher, but there's a unified launcher called "Tails USB installer",
that lands both into the "Tails" and "System Tools" menus, at least in
my experimental builds. I make no guarantees it's properly installed
when manually installing the .deb, though.

Thanks, but that does not answer my question.
Please notice the "in a row" and "in the meantime" parts,
or, well, let's forget that old initial bunch of tests.

Thanks. I think this explains most of the problems you've
experienced initially.

Ok, so I'll forget about the initial test reports that I can't do
anything with, and focus on the new ones.

Sure.

You answered me on IRC already for that one, but in the future, please
make it clear what you exactly mean by "isohybrid'ed", e.g.
exact options passed to isohybrid, or lack thereof.

I'm not sure what you mean, what's missing or unclear in there, and
what should be clear. Please rephrase and/or make more explicit.

It seems to me every such bug you reported in this bunch of tests was
caused by the live-boot / live-persist bugs anonym has fixed. I'll do
my own testing.
