Yes, having the installer live outside of Tails, eliminating the second
device, would be nice.

Both 'Temporary Tails' and 'pre-Tails' make sense. 'Almost Tails',
Not-quite-yet Tails', and 'Baby Tails' come to mind, and are quite fun,
but are not too useful in communicating the level.

'Minimal Tails' suggests minimal functionality, which is not the case.
'Tails w/o Storage' might be more appropriate. 'Tails' makes sense in
this case. 'Good-enough Tails' is fun, too.

'Tails w/ Storage' vs 'Tails w/ Persistence' seems most universally
comprehendable. Seeing that this is the same level as 'B.', adding "w/
Storage" to "Tails" seems appropriate. Otherwise, 'Maximum Tails' seems
fitting, though isn't very proper.
