[[!meta title="USB install and upgrade"]] [[!toc levels=3]] Roadmap ======= We have released something useful in Tails 0.11, based on the work we've already done on the basis of Fedora liveusb-creator. Next steps are: Bugfixes and minor improvements of liveusb-creator -------------------------------------------------- * Remove devices from the list when unplugged. * Set cursor to waiting (hourglass) state while working. * Allow setting the system/overlay partitions size via command-line option(s). * command-line option --local-hard-disks that would enable installation on local hard disks (= not external USB); is half-implemented by `--force`, see special casing in the detect_removable_devices method. * Should be more explicit when no target device is available: currently displays an empty list, no message, is not that easy to understand. ### Other tasks and bugs See the [Installer tickets on Redmine](https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/tails/issues?query_id=120). Incremental upgrades -------------------- See the dedicated page about [[todo/incremental_upgrades]]. Choose again ------------ Implement our [[specifications|future_spec]] in (probably) Ubuntu's [usb-creator](https://launchpad.net/usb-creator), that has a much saner codebase. This should also open the possibility to take care of, at least, verified downloads and Windows support. Resources ========= * [[notes about GPT|usb_install_and_upgrade/gpt]] * the **code**: our work on liveusb-creator is in a [[dedicated Git repository|contribute/git]]. Integration work is made in the `feature/usb_installer` branch in the main Tails Git repository. * USB installation [[specification and design|contribute/design/installation]] * archived [[roundup of existing tools|todo/usb_install_and_upgrade/archive]]
