Whonix VirtualBox/KVM Live-mode Testers Wanted!

Whonix now has the option of booting into a live system . When live-mode is chosen, all write operations will go to RAM instead of the hard disk. The primary objective of live-mode is to prevent malware from gaining a persistent foothold and to return the system to its state prior to booting.

System with low resources:

If Whonix is running on a system will low RAM it is recommended that all non-essential processes are shutdown on the host. This will free up memory to allocate the virtual machines if needed.

Configuration instructions for live-mode:

Note: Live-mode is currently unsupported with Qubes-Whonix

Thanks to @Algernon and everyone else who made live-mode possible.
