CrankyOldBugger,
Thanks but I used another laptop to verify Tails with no problem.
As for the Nuke its already done!, reloading now.
Just In Case,....."Nuke refers to wiping all information / data off a
Computer Hard Drive Disk by overwriting it multiple times, with a program
or app known as boot n nuke"
That should appease the Gov lurkers.lol
