That can include e.g. non-free documentation, which clearly doesn’t belong in the same place than nVidia binary drivers. > The new section should also be available on our CD/DVD images, > so that users can just take a CD/DVD and that it works without > having to search for the needed firmware and provide it on an > other medium to the installer. I think we should clearly separate it on a different medium, except for netinst images, for which there could be two versions. BTW, do we really need yet another vote for that? If there is consensus on the usefulness, isn’t it enough to have the approval of the FTP masters and the d-i developers? -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
