OK. I suggest kindly asking the maintainer of these two Debian packages to prepare and upload updated versions to squeeze-backports: Ludovic Rousseau <[email protected]> (With my Debian developer hat on: please Cc: me your request, and I'll see what I can do if Ludovic thinks it's a good idea but has no time to deal with that.) > Abel, a developer for the guardian project is working on a fork of > Tails called 'Clean Room'.

I find the idea excellent, and I'm happy to see Tails used as a basis for this usecase. Count me in the potential future users of this distribution :) > I think it'd still be very useful to have the drivers in Tails and > other support that doesn't conflict with the more general computing > environment that is Tails. Sure, the drivers should go into Tails. I think the backports way is the correct one, as mixing a libc6 from testing/sid with a Squeeze system is not guaranteed to work as intended. I also think that: * disabling networking could easily be provided as a boot-time option of Tails; * the aforementionned scripts might be worth installing into Tails, preferably in the form of a Debian package. I mean: given the small size of the intended delta, and the hard work needed to maintain a long-term fork, Able might prefer to have this merged into Tails at some point. No pressure intended, I understand a short-term fork might help, even for such a small delta, to get a proof of concept out quickly. > He plans to release an early version this week I believe.
