That is much too generalised for my taste. A non-free issue such as firmware in d-i is well documented in the Manual. It may be a bit of a pain but it is the way to go. Easy or not there is a route to follow and someone new to Debian really has no cause for complaint. When there is a complete lack of documentation on something as basic as an aspect of networking in d-i I'd suggest even an experienced user would be, at the very least, puzzled. In case filip thinks I was being being over-critical of his suggestion that was not my intention. Installing a task after a first boot is not a bad idea for the reason he gives; given the proviso I mentioned. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
