The new user might assume their wifi device is not supported. The new user might not realize that their device is supported, but their manual wifi switch is set to OFF.
Bug#941333: Wifi network detection during installation. Suggested improvement.
Right now you would get a "no network device found" / "no netwirk found" / "unable obtain an IP address" message. Is this not sufficiant? You are given the option to go back and try again. Please remember that it is also possible that no wifi device wiuld have been detected either. Lets face it if you do happen to have a wifi adapter that has been detected (or you have loaded non free firmware for) and it does not detect the network AND offer you any other wifi ssid to pick from, then you are already going to notice that somthing isn't right. /Andy On 28 September 2019 23:38:48 BST, Clinton H <49studeba...@gmail.com> wrote: >Package: cdrom > >If no wifi networks are detected, could you display a "If using a >laptop, check that the manual wifi switch is set to ON." warning >message and then retry detecting wifi networks.

Bug#941332: Corrupt package during installation from CD ISO. Suggested improvements
Package: cdrom During the "base install" of Debian from a CD ISO I got an error that the vim package was corrupt. Could you do the following: 1) Add a "skip" package button. The installer could skip installation of the package and then download and install the package after installation of the OS. Display a warning message that the OS may be unstable. 2) Add a "retry" button. A user could download and save the package and the correct folder structure to a separate cd or usb drive. The installer would then install the non-corrupt package. 3) If the user selected a network connection that has internet access, the installer could download and then install a replacement package. If one package is corrupt, the user can not continue installation. Downloading an entire new ISO is a waste of bandwidth, if one package is corrupt.

Package: cdrom If no wifi networks are detected, could you display a "If using a laptop, check that the manual wifi switch is set to ON." warning message and then retry detecting wifi networks. If the manual wifi switch is set to OFF, then wifi networks will not be detected.
