Package: debian-installer Severity: normal I needed to have ipw2100 firmware, so I switched to console, and typed "mkdir /mnt/disk" then "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk" but it gave a really impossible-to-understand error, nothing to do with vfat. I realised that all it needed was "modprobe vfat". I have USB keys formatted to fat32 due to windows-compatibility.
As a side-note, the directory /lib/firmware does *not* exist, and there is no textual indication where the firmware should be placed. I just guessed it had to be at /lib/firmware. The "/lib/firmware" should exist, and the interface should make it clear that if the firmware is manually installed, it should be placed there. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
