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
