Agreed. I am writing in foreign language about computers. Keeping my posts
short. Clarifying apparently did not work.
> can't understand what is the fuss.
No fuss. It is about to what extend it complies with forum rules to tell how
to install non free software.
My questions.
> install Debian, temporarily add the non-free repo and install the package
firmware-linux-nonfree and then remove the non-free repo from sources.list in
/etc/apt.
Are you telling a member how to install non free software? Yes or no?
Is telling a person how to install non free software against forum rules? Yes
or no?
If the answer to the second question is no, then many posts on this forum
have been incorrectly named to be against forum rules.
If you think my post was about pointing at you because you tell how to
install a piece of non free software, you are wrong. I think the questioner
should be told how to get his hardware to run properly. I want there to be an
option to tell a questioner how to install non free software in cases where
fx it is a matter of getting a piece of hardware to work properly and there
is no free software option. Maybe by messaging such answers to the
questioner, if that is not against forum rules?
>You should mention thinkpenguin every time a post is about getting hardware.
To my knowledge in english you may say 'you can' in the sense 'one can'.
Maybe I should have written 'Thinkpenguin computers etc should be mentioned
every time a post is about obtaining hardware'.
