Installation procedure can be intimidating.

The first page in the installation sequence assumes too much. Instead it should inform the user that several options will be presented beyond the initial page. The subsequent page again assumes the user will want to install an amnesic variation of linux while displaying a link to the DVD/USB procedure (most commonly used prior to the overhaul) in relative obscurity. I would instead (with equal visual emphasis) tell them that they have several options. It is at that point that the site should inform the user of the time it will take to finish the procedure.
When I first saw the need for 2 USB sticks, I almost impulsively closed the window with the thought that another great security tool has lost focus of the importance of a smooth unassuming UX. It’s only when I squinted to the bottom right hand corner of the screen that I saw my preferred option in blinding green text. I understand the security implications of using a purely amnesic OS, but I have little problems saving and reintroducing my state file to maintain my guard node.
Please properly represent the entire range of TAILS deployment options. Otherwise I fear very few will take the leap.
