I confirm that I never ever managed to provide the needed firmware to
the free official installer. Thus my consequence was to ignore it and
just use the non-free firmware enabled installer. I do not think that
it is sensible to let users make this experience themselves and I'm
really welcoming the effort Steve did. Out of the original post I
prefer option 5. Currently I don't habe time to read the whole thread
but I have spotted some sensible enhancements of option 5 that are
worth discussing.
Thanks a lot Steve
Andreas.
