I fscking do know what the docs say. They're ambiguous and it didn't work in either interpretation way I could come up with when I was last forced to install Debian on a system in a place where only wireless LAN was available, like a month ago. As a milion times before, I ended up changing to a shell in the installer and manually putting the firmware files into the installer system, which then worked. I am a DD. I can do that. Any other user would probably have Ubuntu or Fedora on the box in quesiton now. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
