+Tails Installer makes use of policykit-1, that allows running the program as
+non-privileged user while asking for a root password only for the operations
+that need it: writing the MBR and unmounting the USB stick once the
+installation is finished.
+
+When running minimalistic desktop environments this does not work out of the
+box. `/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1` must be
+running, or the program needs to be executed as root.
