Awesome! Can confirm it works with Iceweasel on Debian Unstable
(tested using 40.0.3-3). Really slick, thanks Giorgio.

I was surprised that the Other Linux instructions mention two usb
drives but not an option to use a DVD and 1 usb drive. Was that
intentional? I don't always have extra usb sticks available (or ones
that I trust), but blank DVDs are relatively cheap (and that's how I
first installed Tails ;) ).
