Hi,
I only got two test reports (1 success, 1 failure) about what follows,
so it's hard for me to draw any conclusion.
Can some more folks please test this, once the nightly builds are
repaired (you'll see when latest.iso is current, and not from July 6)?
Cc'ing frontdesk, in case they don't read this list and want to give
me a hand (and avoid future headaches ;)
In the following instructions, replace "Tails 1.3" with "the most
recent stable Tails release" (that is, currently, 1.4.1).
