DVD does actually not work from the installer ;)

So, here is a concrete proposal. So we can discuss this in context.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Inside Tails
============

Install by cloning
------------------

- Install Tails on another device (USB stick or SD card) by copying
the Tails system that you are currently using.
- The device that you install on is formatted and all data is lost.
- The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails device that you are
currently using is not copied.

Upgrade by cloning
------------------

- Upgrade another Tails device to the same version of Tails that you
are currently using.
- The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails device that you
upgrade is preserved.
- The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails device that you are
currently using is not copied.

Upgrade from ISO
----------------

- Upgrade another Tails device to the version of an ISO image.
- The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails device that you
upgrade is preserved.
- The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails device that you are
currently using is not copied.

Outside Tails
=============

To run Tails Installer you need an ISO image which can be downloaded
from our website:

Install
-------

- Install Tails on a new device (USB stick or SD card).
- The removable device that you install on is formatted and all data
is lost.

Upgrade
-------

- Upgrade a Tails device to the version of an ISO image.
- The encrypted persistent storage of the Tails device that you
upgrade is preserved.
