Autor: Alan Data: A: tails-dev Assumpte: [Tails-dev] Document that Persistence only work with Tails Installer
It has been reported by g8way@??? in their "IRC channel
#tails gateway report From: Jan. 10, 2014 To: Jan. 17, 2014" email on
tails-support@??? that:
> People think the documentation about *installing* Tails (manual
> method) and creating a persistent volume should be *clearer* somehow.
> There is confusion about creating a running Tails (source USB)(that
> cannot be made persistent) and the Tails you install onto a (Target)
> USB with Tails installer which can be made persistent by running
> *configure persistent volume*. Much of the confusion comes with the
> *manual* install method. Users think that persistence can be setup on
> the first (source) usb after using Universal USB installer or dd'ing
> the iso and are upset and they think they wasted a USB stick. For
> some reason they don't *notice* or *read* (more probable) the warning
> notice there about no persistence on source USB. 3 people said the

They suggest:
> Maybe it should also be

> persistence cannot be setup on the *source/first* USB if you used the
