DrakX/installer will work as it does not rely on hw specific drivers, as it
runs in framebuffer mode.
The point of fixing stage2 is that when installer detects hw that needs
firmware from nonfree, it should notify the user and ask if he/she wants
to install it, either from an additional media or from online repos.
The problem with upcoming radeon hw, is that it wont work with
radeon.modeset=0 as the only supported mode is KMS.
I'm also looking into have the radeon driver refuse to load if it does
not find its firmware, and maybe instead load vesa. But no ETA on that part.
And yet another important issue is wifi firmware to enable
notebook/netbook owners to install from dvd + extra cd/stick.
Yep. That is what the "additional media" mentioned above is all about.
I already have one created for test, but it didn't work properly for
alpha2 so I didn't push it.
I'll try to make it work for alpha3
