Probably because I didn't know or forgot this part of the specs. :)
You mean we can't build Tails inside a kvm domain because then virtualbox
has trouble installing? I admit I haven't tested.

But well, basically all that this cucumber tests need are an iso file, and
its path can be configured by the ISO env variable as stated in the
README.

So I guess we can answer to your first question as ""where the tests are
run from" and update the documentation. :)
