Re: building a custon talking debian installation image with build essential and other packages on the disc as well as the mate accessible desktop

2020-04-27 Thread Nick Gawronski
Hi, I agree as most hardware now requires firmware to use.  Is there a 
document on how to remaster and add packages to the disc either for 
download or as normal debs that are on the disc?  Nick Gawronski

Nick,
Please use the non free images because many blind people are connecting by 
Wi-Fi and the drivers are only on the non free images. Also add the Unofficial 
multimedia sources so blind people can use
the non free codecs.

It takes a lot of work to make Debian normal.

But Debian still is the best, I just wish they'd stop the non free prohibition 
and put printer and multimedia and Firefox in their ISO.

Best wishes,

David
