Importance of 4gb+ usb drive question
All I have is a 2gb usb drive. I was able to successfully install Tails onto the usb but when I try to boot it it says WARNING: NO CONFIGURATION FILE FOUND and does not work.
Is this warning because my usb drive is too small? How come Tails only takes up a gig but the recommended size is 4+? Should I just go get a new usb drive?

That's a problem with the Universal USB Installer (UUI), Tails and computers that use UEFI.
Try installing Tails with Rufus instead:

Future expansion of the boot partition and so that you can create a persistent partition.
Yes.
Your current one should work with a Rufus installation, but you won't be able to create a persistent partition on it.
Thanks for the reply. So if I don't need persistence because I just plan on using the electrum wallet that's pre installed (just type in your 12 word password, right?) I could just wipe the drive and reinstall iso image using rufus?
Yes.
Correct.
You don't even need to wipe the drive. Rufus will do that for you.
Thanks for the help
Glad to help!
