It can't be "free" and have "non-free" firmware... previously the
firmware only were on the Live CD's. I am not sure anything has been
changed in that regard (i.e. I didn't see the matter get discussed
yet).
Correct. It's the same dilemma you have in Mandriva. You either need a
cable attached to use the free edition or you have to use the "ONE
Edition" and install all the needed software later (ex:
system-config-printer, which is not on the ONE cds). If you want to
have a free distribution there's no way around this as long as there
is the need for non-free firmware to use certain hardware.
A possible solution for people with such a setup could be a non-free
"driver cd ISO" which they could include in the installation process.
This is actually a very good idea, and already supported by the
installer, so it should work nicely...
I think this is the way to do it...
