Unless the blob is in more than one file; in that case it wants only those files. In either case, providing the package should be sufficient. If you can install over Ethernet, I recommend you do so. It's simpler than fiddling with binary blobs. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
