the installation of a downloaded IUK failed. This page should be
about what to do in this case. My Tails may be left in a broken
state, as long as I am told what broke, and explained how to repair
it (possibly by re-installing from scratch, or by performing a full
update).

Explain why Tails ships Tor vs. other `$ANONYMIZING_SOFTWARE`.
Somewhere: contributors FAQ? users FAQ? design doc?
Late 2012, we explained AdvOR drawbacks on the forum:
<blockquote>
AdvOR was forked from mainline Tor around three years ago. Given how its
sources are published (just a .zip, no source control AFAICT) it’s very
hard to follow up on any changes it introduces, and any (important)
changes from mainline Tor it *does not* include. There’s little (none?)
documentation either.
This and the author’s complete absense in the Tor community are some
pretty strong warning signs, IMHO. Not to mention that any difference in
behaviour from mainline Tor will put AdvOR users into their own
relatively tiny partition of \\"Tor\\" users, which sucks for anonymity.
Also see [Nick Mathewson’s (Tor’s Chief Architect)
analysis](http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Oct-2010/msg00026.html) for
some enlightenment.

The lack of documentation about the performance hit (especially w.r.t
delay) imposed by Tor usage was pointed out as a big source of TBB user
confusion in a PETS paper:
<http://petsymposium.org/2012/papers/hotpets12-1-usability.pdf>
How can we make this clearer for Tails end-users?

The instructions to manually copy persistent data to a new device
override the ownership of files owned by amnesia:amnesia to root:root.
This leads to unusable personal files.
A workaround could be to issue the following command after copying the
folders:
`find /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/ -maxdepth 1 -type d -uid
1000 -exec chown -R 1000:1000 '{}' \;`
Shall we ask the user to execute this command, or shall we find a
better
way of solving that issue?

Tails/Wheezy protects the boot device against write access via udisks by
the desktop user (tails/tails#6172), so if one follows
doc/encryption\_and\_privacy/encrypted\_volumes and tries to manually
create an encrypted volume on the boot device, they’ll be asked an
administration password.
I see two ways out of it:
1. Add a note, on top of that page, stating that manually creating an
encrypted volume on the Tails device is not supported, and pointing
to the doc about persistence.
2. Mention, on top of that page, that one needs to set an
administration password first.
I prefer the first one, but feel free to retitle this ticket if the
people responsible for the doc prefer the latter.
