hi,
I booted tails from a usb stick installed with unetbootin.
Then i tried to clone it to another 8GB usb stick, which i resetted as
descibed in doc/resetting_usb_stick ( in experimental).
Then the liveusb-creator makes a 1.6GB FAT partitition and complains
about not having enough space.
Here is the log:
amnesia@amnesia:~$ liveusb-creator-launcher -v
