Package: debian-installer Version: firmware-7.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch06s04.html.en says "Alternatively, unofficial CD builds containing non-free firmware can be found at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/." And https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware says "Alternatively, there are now versions of the "netinst" CD images that also include all the non-free firmware packages directly" Both these extracts infer that all the non-free firmware is in the firmware image, but firmware-7.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso does not contain Broadcom firmware (at least not b43). This firmware should be added to the CD, or the documentation should mention that unofficial builds don't contain *all* firmware. It's a waste of the user's time to download an installer that claims to have non-free firmware and then find the non-free firmware they need is missing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
