First, I'm confused. You wanted me (with pretty good reasons) to
rename "Tails Upgrader" to "Tails Incremental Upgrader", so I did that
a few weeks ago (and, well, it was quite painful). And now the doc
refers to "Tails Upgrader" everywhere. What's wrong?

s/installing/installation/ ?

Links to file:///, really? This won't work for those who read this
page online, outside of Tails.

Needs some linking words between the first sentence and the bullet
list, maybe?

In doc/upgrade/error, I read "Check your network connection, and
restart Tails to try upgrading again." but this is not really about
"upgrading", as most likely there is no upgrade available. "Checking
for available upgrades", instead?

Other than this, all this seems very good to me, congrats!

Thanks -- I'll look at it later, probably tomorrow.

Cheers,
