Hello,

I am trying to setup an Armory bitcoin wallet on the persistent drive of a Tails bootable USB stick and am having a little trouble installing bitcoin-qt. For one, i keep running out of hard drive space, but I have a 16GB persistent partition, so i have a feeling that the place where .bitcoin is located is not in that persistent portion. So, is there a way to update the blockchain using bitcoin-qt and making that blockchain download to the persistent dir instead of the home dir?

Tais is based on the debian distro of linux. i know there is a way to do this in windows, but I havent found any instructions for how to do this in linux.

Thanks,
