I wasn't clear that "all" means "all firmware present in /lib/firmware/
of the host system"...

I now realize the I have a major problem, fetching and installing the
proper firmware version :(

I'd default to 'none'.

Netboot and firmware

2009-05-26 Thread Frank Lin PIAT 
Hello,

I have just noticed Marco d'Itris note on 
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/NetbootFirmware

Do you think it would be a problem if di-netboot-assistant was
concatenating all local firmware, to the init.rd files?

Are we likely to hit some size limit?

I'll probably  add an option like
  FIRMWARE_IN_INITRD=(none|all|$firmwarename)
(but I would rather default to "all").

Thanks,

Franklin
