Description

For Tails 1.1, we likely won’t have UEFI support 100% documented, but we should at least update:

  • Start Tails
  • Tails does not start
  • Known issues
  • Hardware requirements
  • Mac installation doc
  • manual test suite

What I’ve done is:

  • On the known issues page, ask test reports on Tails 1.1+ for all systems that should now be supported in UEFI mode. Also, removed issues that are fixed by the UEFI support in 1.1.
  • On the “Tails does not start” page, suggest toggling between legacy BIOS <—> UEFI, instead of only UEFI—>legacy BIOS
  • On the page about starting Tails, documented how to start a UEFI-compatible Tails on Mac.
  • Moved UEFI known issues from the blueprint to support/known_issues.
  • Adapted a bit the text about Mac on the hardware requirements page.

I see nothing new on feature/uefi, and I cannot find any email that would tell me what I’m supposed to review. Your last email says “I fixed a bunch of documentation styling and merged it” => please clarify :)

Sorry, I think that I forgot to push. Now it should be there in
feature/uefi and merged into testing.

Thanks! But… how am I supposed to find out the commits I’m supposed to review?

Hmm, sorry. I’ve reviewed the commits on top of feature/uefi, that I didn’t author. Good!
