ACK. I know of these specific problems:
The download and verification thing?
-> Would it help if we made Tails Installer support downloading and
verifying the latest ISO, and included in Debian/Ubuntu?
Getting an overview of the steps to have Tails running on a USB stick
that is persistence and incremental upgrades -capable?
-> Would a screencast help, in your opinion? (#6387)
Are there other *specific* stumbling blocks you know about in this area?

Please report a bug with WhisperBack about it.

Thank you for acknowledging this.

Cool, and then you can use the Additional Software feature to have it
installed automatically on every boot :)

It would be good to know if this problem can be reproduced in an
(experimental) ISO of Tails/Wheezy:
http://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_devel/
... and if it can, then one should report this bug to Debian.

Interesting. It's the first time I hear someone complaining about it.
Do others share this experience?

Please report a bug with WhisperBack about it.

What's the dhclient one, again? (You might have told us about it
already, but I don't remember the details.) It could be worth
improving things in Debian directly, or at least reporting a bug
there, as I doubt you're the only one affected by the problem you're
suggesting Tails has in this area ;)
Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers,
