Oggetto: [Tails-dev] Please review doc update wrt. problematic USB sticks
Hi,

as we are seeing more and more bug reports about problematic USB
sticks (mostly due to the fact they don't expose themselves as
removable devices, which is — unfortunately — right according to the
standards, although totally new TTBOMK), I felt the need to explain
how to diagnose this boot failure mode, how it can be workaround'd
temporarily, and why this is dangerous:
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/bug_reporting/tails_does_not_start/#entirely

I also started a list of problematic USB sticks:
https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/#problematic-usb-sticks

I'm not very happy with how the tails_does_not_start/#entirely flow is
after my addition, but I am unsure how it could be improved.

Doc writers, please review and suggest improvements if needed :)

Cheers,
--
