Yes, that'f perfectly fine. My question was whether the relavant firmware packages should be present on the installed system even if the installer itself did not use/load them. The netboot installer installs everything from the network after all, so it could install firmware packages just as it installs desktop packages for example. Apparently it does not, which is fine again, but I wasn't certain of the intent. -- Cheers, Feri.
