A. ​is this such question the only help you are intend to give me about the
torcc tuning inability???​

​ ​
B. any time I start TAILS I need to perform a big number of setups to be
able to use the TAILS as accomplishing my needs and limitations
(LIMITATIONS!!!). I'm VERY interested to be able to put all my sets into
the Persistence - languages and
- sets of the Virtual Keyboard and
- the torcc file. In this last case (torcc into the persistence) I will not
need to wait for your answer (for your help) about the workaround for
tuning the torcc if the tuning can be performed once and saved in the
persistence.

In general - it is very strange that I was not receive from you this
workaround despite of my explanation about my fully and absolutely
dependence (and even bondage! :( ) from the ability to tunning the torcc.
Even in the case you are not interested in me as the TAILS-3 tester you was
see my needs to be able to tuning the torcc in the TAILS-3 too, after it be
issued.

My addition question about the TAILS-3 testing is about the security of it:
is there a way to upgrade the Tor Browser into the Alpha version? I can not
TESTING ONLY and not use the system for the real tasks - because it is NOT
testing in all :) !


​Can I be hope you get me answers for my questions, please?

NOTES:

-- about languages' set to be saved into Persistence: I need a) delete all
​(6? 7?) pre-setted languages and then b) to add my languages any time I
start the TAILS (a number times a day). This tunning is very long :( .

-- about Virtual Keyboard: I need it and I will not able to use the TAILS
without property tunned Virtual Keyboard. It will very good to not to be
must to perform this tuning every time.

-- about the torcc tunnng: *It is vitally to my ability to use the TAILS*
-  the *ability to tunning* the torcc !
    ( The keeping the torcc in the persistence will be very easement too,
just as the previous items. )


Thank you very much in advance!!!

The screen lock and the emergency memory wiping are the very big
problems... The screen lock is even more important than the wiping :( .

Sincerely
