Hi Trung, thanks for reporting your experience, it may really be helpful to people with your PC! You can edit the ThinkPad X220 page you linked and write your method to boot from USB, so it can be used as a workaround until UEFI is properly supported. Greetings Alessandro 2013/7/22, Trung Tran

Hi, quite a number of people, in the Tails forum, ask questions not strictly related to Tails, but rather to Tor or general anonimity/privacy topics. They're almost always told to discuss such topics somewhere else, because the project has few developers, and they can't handle all of them and
