i start bullseye installer from usb stick
it tells me to insert usb stick containing firmwarei fail in this step many
times
after many failures, i learn that firmware shall be in vfat partition, not
ext4and i have to remove installer stick so that installer can read firmware
stickthough i have
mail provider gives me 16-character-long authorization code for smtp
server(something like 77c93457b12ab54a)i can't enter it in thunderbird
in Account Settings/Outgoing Sever dialogPort should be 587which shall i choose
for "Connection security" and "Authentication method"?
Thank Andy! my cpu is 32bit
i have thought pae can support more than 4G memorybut in fact it can't use full
4G memory hardware
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 28
model name : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N280 @ 1.66GHz

Thanks, i thought pae can bypass 4G limit of 32-bit OS
i have 2 memory slotsmemtest86+ shows each has 2G, but total is 3Gafter booting
linux, top shows total is 3Gwhy 1 G is missing? Thanks!
Thanks, as most adapters require firmware, it's not handy for user to supply
them during installation
can't debian do a better job? i care more about ease of use than freeware
philosophymany other distro just supply them
these non-free firmware are same as software without source code??
Thank Gene, i'd better give up search for ideal wireless adapter
my old pci wireless adapter needn't non-free firmware, but new adapter need, as
Andrew has said
Thank Georgi!
the tricky part of my search for ideal adapter(needn't non-free firmware)
isthat many vendors claim they support linux, but i'm afraid they require
non-free firmware
is there some easy way to find out if it requires non-free firmware?

On Windows, everything regarding the driver is non-free, not only the
firmware.
Personally I can live with non-free firmware and have always enabled this.
Windows is better supported because many vendors claim they support Windows
from winxp to win10they don't mention
Thank Andrew, Stefan and nick!
i prefer old wifi adapter if new one often requires non-free firmware
it seems that Windows is better supported than linux in this aspect
finding my ideal adapter with right interface isn't easy
(usb is preferred, some pci card can't be install in my PC)
finding them
Thanks, mick!
i've found some adapter with search enginehopefully it can be installed in
debian without firmware from non-free
i hate to install firmware from non-free sectionin some instances free adapter
perform better than non-free one
i browse some e-shop, some vendor claim that you needn't driver for their
adapter installationi guess driver is included somewhere in adapter, vendor say
they can be installed in
David, you are right again, i'm going nowhere(making no progress)
actually i've said on

open it as local file
i believe pdf format used by archive.org is cause of slownessthey are scanned
books, and allow you to select
David, you are right, it has Continuous modebut it's slow, and it lacks gui,
making it difficult to usei don't think gui components requires fast cpu

Another excellent option (specially for old machines) is zathura,available in

Best regards!
i've just installed zathura, it doesn't have Continuous mode as opposed to
Single Page modeand it lacks gui components, you have to read manual to
Thanks! i've installed atril, evince and okular for buster for i386 at your
recommendationevince for buster seems better than for stretch
i use xosview to monitor performance4G memory is always enough, but cpu usage
is high, meaning slow
Thanks!it has nothing to do with downloadi have saved it to home directoryand
then open it with acrobat for linuxit's slow when i browse it
what cpu do you use?my cpu is old and cheap
i've found many books at archive.org in pdf formatbut reading them in acrobat
for linux is painful, it's slow
it's fast in acrobat for androidand i think it's fast in Windowsadobe has
stopped upgrade for linux
i've tried evince, gnome default viewer, it crash
