Description

The guide of downloading the usb image file (e.g. when coming from https://tails.boum.org/install/index.en.html)

https://tails.boum.org/install/download/index.en.html

has no “Skip download” (or after downloading: “Skip verification!”) link in step 3 — in contrast to the download guides for the iso file (“dvd” and “vm”).

This then probably needs to be corrected in “Manual test suit” as well…

Found related:
commit:51d9a2c2: It won’t have a “Skip download” and “Skip verification” because people arrived on this page after clicking “Download only”.

So maybe it IS intentional?

(Then why is it different for dvd and vm?)

Indeed, we should send people to dead ends, especially on important pages like our download page.

@cbrownstein: Here is a tiny branch that points to /doc#install where we have a list of all the different installation and upgrade scenarios.

@cbrownstein: Wow, how could I insert so many bugs in so few lines of code :( Thanks for catching all these!

Merged, now.
