Re: installation-guide: simplify RAM/disk space requirements

Ah, I realize that the above is completely bullshit: the swap partition is not only for the installer, but later for installed system as well (shame on me). So should I change to "2-4 GB at least" ? The installer running in low memory mode means that the system RAM is less than 1 GB, so I doubt that a swap bigger than 2 GB makes sense.

Bug#1055167: Network interface lost IP when lease expired after switching from isc-dhcp-client
Package: udhcpc Version: 1:1.35.0-4+b3 After switching from isc-dhcp-client to udhcpc (apt purge isc-dhcp-client udhcpc+), when the DHCP lease expired, the network interface didn't get a new IP, pushing the server offline (luckily I had a remote console to fix the problem). The package was installed via Puppet and I didn't notice that this doesn't run needrestart (or at least doesn't restart services with our configuration). I now use the workaround to "needrestart -r a" after installing the package with Puppet. IMHO needrestart shouldn't be needed, but instead the package should take care of such a situation. Lars

If this is not wanted, you can use the parameter "firmware=never". >What does firmware=never do? # >https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware#How_to_disable_detection_and_use_of_non-free_firmware > >Does firmware=never affect the installation and detection of free firmwares? Detection of firmware still works, but you don't get non-free firmware installed automatically (from the install media or via web). In such situation, the installer may ask for firmware files nevertheless, if a device is detected, which requires this. You can provide such file then via USB stick for example, if you want. This is the same behaviour as in Debian 11 and before. Free firmware is not affected at all by this. Holger -- Sent from /e/ OS on Fairphone3

Firmware files are loaded into memory on the hardware to make it operate. The drivers are often still open source. Proprietary drivers (like nvidia and amd) on the other hand execute on your CPU, usually in kernel space (at least partially) and is a very different story. People tend to have a much bigger issue with proprietary drivers than they do with firmware files. The firmware file simply does what in the past would have been done with a rom or flash chip on the card but is now done with ram to save some money on the design. -- Len Sorensen
Add Feature Prevent Installing non-free-firmware in Noraml Mode (Like expert mode)
Hello. From Debian 12 onwards, proprietary drivers will be automatically installed in normal mode. Can you make the installer ask questions in normal mode for installing proprietary drivers? (Like a check box with No and Yes) What does firmware=never do? # https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware#How_to_disable_detection_and_use_of_non-free_firmware Does firmware=never affect the installation and detection of free firmwares? I use an interpreter. forgive me
