I did a quick test to see which firmware packages are currently
installed on machines reporting to popcon.skolelinux.org.  Here is the
complete list:

These are the package missing on the DVD:

  2.4   0.0 firmware-linux-free                 (notoncd) (notwanted)
  1.2   0.0 alsa-firmware-loaders               (notoncd) (notwanted)
  1.2   0.6 firmware-linux                      (notoncd) (notwanted)
  0.6   0.0 grub-firmware-qemu                  (notoncd) (notwanted)
  0.6   0.0 linux-wlan-ng-firmware              (notoncd) (notwanted)
  0.6   0.6 atmel-firmware                      (notoncd) (notwanted)
  0.6   0.6 firmware-linux-nonfree              (notoncd) (notwanted)
  0.6   0.6 zd1211-firmware                     (notoncd) (notwanted)

Perhaps the missing firmware packages should be added to the DVD to
make sure those that need them can find them even without a working
network connection?

Happy hacking,
