Re: Re: Include on first iso: m-a, build essential, kernel headers
Hi, basically I am requesting module-assistant, build-essential and the
kernel headers for the default kernel on the first iso. These are basic
tools that are necessary to be able to install non-free, proprietary
packages such as madwifi, nvidia-drivers etc.
My main point is the wireless issue (Atheros; Madwifi ath_pci module not
ath5k), but there are many people who use USB modems and other hardware
who need to compile drivers and modules to get an internet connection.
Most will have the firmware and drivers available, but the
aforementioned packages are essential to be able to compile/build/install.
As for Mono, I was referring to the latest Gnome release on Lenny and
Sid, not Etch. I have my own personal gripes about the renaming of
Firefox etc, but that's another issue.
I think that including headers, m-a and build essential would be a good
move for the developers. Other distros have out-of-the-box non-free and
proprietary apps/drivers/codecs, I would just like to see Debian offer a
complete base on that first iso. At least offering the means to
completely setup Debian form the get-go.
