Steps
Given a computer 0.195
And I temporarily create a 7200 MiB disk named "temp" 0.041
And I plug USB drive "temp" 1.056
And I write the Tails USB image to disk "temp" 26.489
Then there is no random seed on USB drive "temp" 6.535
When I start Tails from USB drive "temp" with network unplugged 1:45.518
