This surely would make it a lot easier for anyone who will want to write the tutorial :) Cheers, -- intrigeri | GnuPG key @ https://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/intrigeri.asc | OTR fingerprint @ https://gaffer.ptitcanardnoir.org/intrigeri/otr.asc ___ tails-dev mailing list tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
[Tails-dev] Idea: document creating Tails USB thumb drive via VirtualBox
Hello, Today on #tails we had an interesting revelation; i.e. creating Tails USB stick is quite often done via a VM with USB passthrough, such as VirtualBox. So it could be nice to document this method on https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/usb_installation/ There was a concern from intrigeri: [23:23:03] intrigeri This would be great IMHO, but one problem is that there's no free software virtual machine with USB passthrough support that we can easily document there. AFACT only qemu/kvm/libvirt support this, and even with virt-manager, it's non-trivial to setup. However, this seems not true. If I understand https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#idp11494896 correctly, USB 1.0/1.1 (OHCI/UHCI) passthrough is implemented as free software and only USB 2.0 (EHCI) support is part of the proprietary Oracle extension pack. USB 1.1 is IMHO good enough for installing Tails on a pendrive, so... who's up to writing a tutorial on this? ;-) Cheers, Łukasz Dobrogowski signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ tails-dev mailing list tails-dev@boum.org https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
