Hi all,
I'm a non tech noobie who has just manged to install tails on her usb stick, major accomplishment btw, and now I'm having a couple problems w/it.
1) I got my mac to boot to the usb by using plop bootloader, the thing is, as long as I have plop bootloader in my drive (burned in onto dvd) the usb will boot, but if the dvd is not inserted that the mac goes right to osx and doesn't recognize the usb
2) I would like to encrypt my usb--meaning I just want to put a password on it so that if someone else got it they couldn't use/open it w/o the password......., there something on tails called "luk" and it has a lock icon, can I use this to do this? What about truecrypt?
3) do I need to make a persistant vol in order to be able to save things here like passwords? And, lastly, any tutorials anywhere on using the pgp encryption that's supposed to come w/tails? I had a look at it, it looks like it's a program that encrypts whole emails............maybe I need to play w/it more.........any thoughts out there???
