Subject: Re: [Tails-testers] UEFI Nightly 05112014--Unable to Image Beta USB from Alpha GUI
Correction:

On my procedure list for my solution:

    > 34) Gamma USB Tails Installer can now be used to Clone &
    Upgrade Beta USB.


Is incorrect. Gamma's USB Tails Installer would still NOT work.
Although the system was running & persistence was recognized on
multiple reboots, Tails Installer "Beta" of
tails-i386-feature_uefi-1.1-20140512T1451Z-2947c63.iso does not
function (at least with my hardware setup). In order to update to an
ISO released after May 10 2014, I must go through the procedure below
again of making a "Beta" of
tails-i386-feature_uefi-1.1-20140510T0745Z-2947c63.iso, configuring
persistence, downloading the desired newer iso to the
tails-i386-feature_uefi-1.1-20140510T0745Z-2947c63.iso Beta, and using
the Upgrade Iso to select the newer iso & target USB for the upgrade.
