# We reach this first checkpoint only to ensure that the ' __internal' disk has reached the state (Tails installed + persistent partition set up) we need before we clone it below.
# This first part is done without Tails Installer (install from Tails USB image)
# Note: the "__internal" disk will keep its state across scenarios
# and features until one of its snapshots is restored.
