1) boot from DVD/USB and set a password, then open a terminal | |
a) sudo gedit /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tails_installer/creator.py | |
-> search for "Only pay attention to USB and SDIO devices" | |
-> comment out next 7 lines (until and including "continue") by prepending a "#" (a changing font color means you did it right) | |
b) sudo /usr/bin/python -tt /usr/lib/tails_installer/tails-installer -u -n --clone -P -m -x | |
-> choose your hdd and create the Tails device | |
c) mount "Tails" partition from just created device/drive using Applications | Utilities | Disks | |
d) gedit /media/amnesia/Tails/syslinux/live*.cfg | |
(3 files open in gedit) | |
-> delete every occurence of "live-media=removable " in these files | |
2) reboot from disk (hdd) and set a password, then open a terminal | |
a) sudo gedit /usr/share/perl5/Tails/Persistence/Setup.pm | |
-> find "foreach my $check (@checks) {" | |
-> AFTER insert new line: "=begin" (important: this MUST be placed in column 1! (a changing font color means you did it right)) | |
-> find (32 lines below) "return 1;" | |
-> 2 lines BEFORE (above the "}" that is in the same column as the first "r" of "return 1;") | |
insert new line "=cut" (important: this MUST be placed in column 1!) | |
b) run "Configure persistant volume" as you normally would from Applications | Tails | |
Finished. | |
You might want to save the two files (at least /usr/share/perl5/Tails/Persistence/Setup.pm) and replace them after each reboot by a script (take care of ownership and permissions!) so that your hdd-Tails behaves exactly like a USB-Tails |
