Hi The user most of the time doesn't even know which driver or firmware blob he needs so this is not a solution (unless you know how to scan dmesg...to spot the trouble). Better would be to tell them: 1) minimal install, netinstall isos/usb images are for advanced users as they could miss firmware/drivers and you are on your own. 2) full install CD/DVD/usb images contain all available firmware/drivers and give best results (plus initial opt out of non-free stuff defaulting to: I want it) Just my 2 cents, Ciao, Tito > There are just too many Gigabytes of Drivers required to satisfy every corner > case, put the drivers your quirky hardware requires on a USB stick and use it > when prompted! > I do not ever want to have to install an OS from 31 removable media's ever > again!
