re, first thanks Thomas for noticing, and trying out dyne:bolic. in my experience debian geeks are quite pedantic in judging things non-free (see XFree and Lame etc.), to their exclusion of ALSA firmware doesn't really tells anything to me. i must admit i also didn't dedicated enough attention to the topic, which i'm willing to do now with your help. d:b is not based on any distribution, so i can just start including the firmware from now on. but i have ONE BIG QUESTION: is the ALSA firmware freely redistributable by third parties, like me? thanks! - -- jaromil, dyne.org rasta coder, http://rastasoft.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://gnupg.org iD8DBQFAjln8WLCC1ltubZcRAlbBAKDcyCvibDTc49cw7oxFGQ9uvSdcowCfeA7+ VTqZhnW+XR2HK7TO1h0E1D8= =lKCA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
