If that was meant as a reply to everyone rather than an internal
confirmation on debian-cd@, maybe send the same mail via reply-all? :)

Hi,

Thanks for the responses everyone. Mark indicated on IRC that he'd be
happy to be ftpmaster-du-jour on any of the dates.

September 18th - not great; means freezing this coming weekend
September 25th - not great; I'm away during most of the week
beforehand, so will be unlikely to be able to deal with any issues,
make sure everything's ready, etc.
October 2nd - OK for me


The conclusion seems to be that if we want to have all of the Images
Team available then we're looking at:


October 9th - OK for me
October 16th - OK for me


Images Team, what was the conclusion in terms of timing for the two
point releases? Are you happy for the archive side for both to happen
on the same day, with image testing for buster possibly being delayed,
or would you prefer to try and separate the whole process? (In which
case we would need all teams available for multiple dates.)


I'm happy either way, I think Andy was less sure in the case that we
got him to do both? :-)



given that Steve will be around I am happy for both in one day :-)

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso
 is the 
main location for the unofficial non-free image - so that's the main Debian
images machine in Sweden. Debian mirrors are not required to carry 
non-free unofficial images - www.debian.org points to the central location.

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/firmware-realtek suggests that the
Realtek 8822CE should be installed by firmware-realtek in non-free.

If all else fails, the recommendation is always to try installing with a 
wired connection first, if available - wifi installs are not always as 
reliable.

Hope this helps. With every good wish, as ever,

Dear Maintainer,

1. in contrast to Linux Mint, the non-free iso does not detect my (popular) 
Realtek 8822CE wifi
2. non-free ISO is not available on german mirrors, so do not point us in that 
direction. I had to use the main server for downloading.
