Ok, so now I am at the point where I try to configure wifi without any additional media than the core repository- The correct wifi is found but the system says that there are additionaöl software and drivers needed (namely broadcom-wl) which I may find in non-free or elsewhere. Just as expected. Reboot. Now could I use the same installation to upgrade and use the same usb stick, just activating the core plus non-free ? Or do I have to redo the whole instatallotion? -- wobo
