題目: Re: [Tails-dev] [Tails-project] boot tails iso with grub
I am just putting the iso on our server (now  wget
https://www.ubuntushop.be/tails.iso
) because of the iso version numbering.

I am no expert, i am looking for a wget command for downloading always
the late st iso from tails.

than renaming it to tails.iso

Booting tails.iso live from hd with grub, with loopback and toram, the
internal hard drive is not mounted.
