Summary: Non-free firmware on the CD and DVD is not installed
automatically when needed
Product: Skolelinux
Version: lenny-rc1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: System distrubution
AssignedTo: debian-edu@lists.debian.org
ReportedBy: pere@hungry.com
Debian-installer seem to fail to look for the firmware packages in the APT
source on the DVD and CD when it looks for required firmware, and thus some
raid controllers and network cards will fail to work out of the box even if
they are working with the Debian Lenny kernel.
A workaround seem to be to copy/hardlink the firmware debs into a firmware/
subdirectory on the DVD and CD, in addition to providing it in the APT source.
This need to be implemented and tested in our debian-cd build environment.
