This is not correct. > Do I need to put this file in a special directory? Yes: "To prepare a USB stick (or other medium like a hard drive partition, or floppy disk), the firmware files or packages must be placed in either the root directory or a directory named /firmware of the file system on the medium." http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch06s04.html > Is it not possible to put the firmware on the same > USB key that I'm booting from? I believe this works fine, but I have not needed to do an install with firmware for quite some time (someone correct me if I'm wrong, please). Create your USB install media as usual, create a /firmware directory on it, and untar the contents of firmware.tar.gz in the /firmware directory. Boot, install, enjoy. :) -- Kind regards, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
