Sizes of netinst images with and without firmware: 375 MiB firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso 334 MiB debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso ------- 41 MiB difference Sizes of Live Standard images with and without firmware: 1285 MiB debian-live-testing-amd64-standard+nonfree.iso 824 MiB debian-live-testing-amd64-standard.iso -------- 461 MiB difference debian-cd generates netinst images: * Only includes firmware|microcode packages that contain files in /lib/firmware * https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd/blob/master/tools/generate_firmware_task * https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd/blob/master/tools/make-firmware-image live-setup generates Live images: * Includes *all* firmware|microcode main|non-free packages * Also includes their massive dependencies * https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/live-setup/blob/master/available/run-30live-wrapper I can think of three fixes for live-setup: 1) Have live-setup use the firmware task generated by debian-cd 2) Copy make-firmware-image to live-setup for use there 3) Patch live-setup run-30live-wrapper with the **untested** patch below By the way, this bug report supercedes my earlier #929790: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=929790 Thank you!
