I understood that current Debian Installer takes firmware during install via usb sticks, floppies, etc. If this is not the case, I have understood incorrectly and take back my comment on it being made easy. I am fairly sure that the feature has been there for a while now, and creating new installer images for firmware needs should no longer be needed. -- Arto Jantunen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
