Hello,

Thank you for the response, when Tails 2.12 is released today, will it be 
publicly available to download? I can see from the roadmap plan as listed on 
the Tails.boum.org website that the full version 2.12 will not be released 
until April 18th.

James

So you want to install these two packages:

* linux-headers-4.8.0-0.bpo.2-686
* linux-headers-4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

since we ship two kernels. Indeed, those Jessie backports have been replaced 
with the linux-headers-4.9.0-2-* versions now, so you will have to use 
something like http://snapshot.debian.org to get these older versions. Try 
going back to the date when Tails 2.10 was released.

OTOH, the release candidate of Tails 2.12 will be released later today, and it 
(and the final Tails 2.12) will use Linux 4.9, so I suggest you don't bother 
analysing Tails 2.10 with Linux 4.8 but start with Tails 2.12~rc1 and Linux 4.9 
to get something more relevant.

Cool! Please report your findings to the tails-dev@ mailing list!
