Still I'm worried about something here. If we don't qualify this "Tails"
(as minimal or whatever), are the installation steps for Windows still
all-right:

We had so far:

- Windows to USB (via USB)
1. Download and verify ISO image
2. Copy ISO image to temporary Tails with UUI
3. Reboot on temporary Tails
4. Install minimal Tails

That would become:

- Windows to USB (via USB)
1. Download and verify ISO image
2. Copy ISO image to temporary Tails with UUI
3. Reboot on temporary Tails
4. Install Tails

Maybe here we could say something like "final Tails" in step 4, just to
make it clear that we're going from a "temporary Tails" to the final
device. But without using that terminology elsewhere in the doc. I think
that "final" makes it clear that this is not a permanent quality of this
device or its state but that it only defines it as part of this
installation process.
