And why should all of us suffer the hassle of a DVD + a CD (how would that work for all those that use USB-sticks, do they now need two sticks? And do you expect magazines to include a DVD+CD to please Mageia? What about all the extra waste and pollution cause by dual media?) just to please the few ultra-orthodox free software fanatics that seemingly would get allergic reactions if the main media contained some non-free code (even if it's only installed upon an informed choice of the user)? Putting the non-free firmware on the main DVD should be a no brainer, since a clear install option is all that's needed to keep the systems of free software fanatics pure. -- Mageia ML Forum Gateway: http://mageia.linuxtech.net/forum/
