> https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware is the page giving full details. That is quite a smart page, explaining the need for firmware during a Debian installation succinctly. It should have some prominance for users. The -devel thread is essentially about the need to make a wireless chipset usuable when the Debian images do not support this. It is not really about revisiting the argument about firmware as software of many years ago. The OP simply wants to get something that works on his machine without having to jump through Google hoops. The Debian home page has "Download" as a prominent feature. It leads to an amd64 netinst iso. Why can it not link to some documentation (as above), and from there to what is available? Pragmatism goes a long way to easing the path to installing Debian. -- Brian.
