Another point: a "Suggests:" would be OK if these were just missing features, but here, the machine is completely unusable without network access. The Linux virtual consoles (Ctrl+Alt+F<1-6>) do not even work. I'm also wondering why it is necessary to have a 100 MB firmware just to get a basic display. In the past (or with the Nvidia proprietary drivers?), this was not the case. But this is another issue. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
