Requirements ------------ Heads build requires pretty standard GNU/Linux install with few additional tools. On GNU/Linux Debian, you should do: # apt-get install vitualbox squashfs-tools git genisoimage syslinux Build ----- Download Tails ISO image to upstream/ folder and make sure the filename matches the UPSTREAM_ISO_NAME variable in the Makefile. Currently the make command has to be executed with superuser privileges, thus do $ sudo make setup to unpack the Tails image into work/ (automatically created). Then $ sudo make chroot to make changes to the image. Finally, do $ sudo make image to build the new ISO from the working dir. It should appear as work/heads.iso. To get the timestamped version, do $ sudo make imagecopy (simply copies the image to ./heads-TIMESTAMP.iso). Known issues ------------ (Work in progress) - unhack the tor-browser to provide working Iceweasel experience in VPN/SSH/direct modes
