I was talking about driver detection with out-of-tree drivers that must be built with "module-assistant". It actually looks like something is in the works, though. - more streamlined live-CD based install > We will have better live-CD based install than anything else I've ever > used in Lenny.

I wasn't talking about using non-free software at all - just what's in main. In any case, most of the appropriate codecs seem to be included in the desktop task. I did try the Apple movie trailers link you suggested, though, and none of them worked. I do have ffmpeg plugins installed. Is this a bug? You seemed to suggest they would work...

Heck, even Ubuntu only included it as an *experimental* feature in Feisty. I figure Compiz Fusion will likely be ready for Lenny, though it will obviously not work on many systems without users manually installing the infamous nvidia/ATI binary drivers (luckily, I'm set with good old Intel video).
