Re: Updated installation images for Debian Ports 2019-05-09
Hi Adrian,
The way I’ve got firmware on to my cds is via adding them to the local repo that the Debian-CD uses to build the installation media. It adds them to the CD if you force firmware and contrib. I took all the firmware-all.deb files from non-free and contrib and added non-free and contrib to the local repo.
I have for found your CD works fine on my RP3440 but not on my c8000 due to firmware with the CD-ROM.
