TBB for linux is not a deb nor rpm based on packaging guidelines. There is nothing to install per se. It's a simple tarball that is extracted. We sign every package, so the tarball is signed and can be validated. > Tails requires users to download a new disc each time an update is > released as well.

Tails is a separate project, you should talk to them directly. Thandy can be found at https://gitweb.torproject.org/thandy.git. > The second thing I was wondering relates to Tails.

Tails is a separate project, you should ask them. You may also find https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor#LiveCDUSB the other projects helpful too. -- Andrew pgp 0x74ED336B _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
