Awesome! Can confirm it works with Iceweasel on Debian Unstable (tested using 40.0.3-3). Really slick, thanks Giorgio. > 2.

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 ;) ). -- -Austin _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
