Description

We received one tester report that proposes to improve the documentation:

“Please tell (on the ”$“:https://tails.boum.org/home/index.en.html page)
whether the USB-image is intended be used for the first installation
only and not for updates of the TAILS?”

This sentence is not super clear, I understand the person wants to know if this is an intermediary stick or not, and maybe we need to make this clear to users who are used to have two sticks to install. I let you judge on what you think is appropriate.

Fixed in 55fc64247e.

I also check how we advertize upgrades in general in release notes and we’re fine: as soon as 3.12 will be out, the manual upgrade instructions will use USB images as well (though the process will be very similar as before).
