I dl/d the Tails, verified it w/ their browser tool, wrote it to a USB w/ linux Disks (=gnome-disk-utility) which was suggested at the Tails site, and booted it on the same hardware that the Ventoy SSD Tails failed. That worked fine. Stefan Claas wrote: > I doubt however that PC's in a public library or Internet Café have > plenty of RAM, to use such a set-up. OIC what/where you are at. I don't have any experience using a device in a lib'y or cafe, but when I used to shop at a big hardware storefront, they would have demo PCs setup, and I would want to know about the hardware's compatibility w/ linux, so I would take a USB stick in to boot a live linux. But, I can't predict if the lib'y or cafe would disable such a 'trick'. If it were 'my' lib'y or cafe, I would. :-) -- Mike Easter
