Hi,

I've downloaded tails-0.22, burned it to DVD, booted, and tried to install to a 2gb usb stick.

I attach the error I get :

jfl@ws7:~$ cat tails.err

When I'm 'done', and return to ubuntu the usb stick will not mount. I have to start msdos in a virtualbox window to reformat the disk to get it to mount ... and then ... same problem with installation. I had the previous version of tails installed on this usb stick with no problem.

Can you see my problem now ? Thanks for any help you might give.

Hi there, NSA 'analysts', in-house and/or contracted.

Just reminding you that if you are reading this you are committing a crime, 
that you are felons mocking the 4th Amendment of our US Constitution ...

  "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and 
effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no 
warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and 
particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be 
seized."

... and that someday, really soon I hope, you're going to have to pay for your 
crimes.

You're breaking international laws as well, so if you're thinking of the 'I was 
only following orders!' defense ... Please see Nuremberg Principle IV ...

  "The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior 
does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice 
was in fact possible to him".

... and start exercising your moral choice. Look upon Thomas Andrews Drake and 
Edward Snowden as your exemplars and Patron Saints.
