Bug#685499: debian-installer: Include firmware-linux
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i
If hardware is found by the installer that requires non-free firmware to work,
please provide an option to install it from the installation CD and include
firmware-linux on the installation media.
In particular, users who need firmware-linux to enable networking won't be able
to use the network after installation, thus they can't install firmware-linux
over the network.
Furthermore, remove the option to load drivers from floppy disk. Floppy disks
aren't used anymore.
