Package: installation-reports
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
My installation needed non-free firmware.
+ i try to place it on a ext3-external HDD.
+ plugged it in as requested, but the installer didnt find anything, the
mount-command fails with "invalid argumnts"(?)
+ but the installer did'nt told me this, i had to look at tty4.
My suggestions:
+! the installer should tell me that FAT FS is needed.
+ it also should tell where (which directory, which files ) and what
file-format (deb and *fw).
( + or even better also handle extX FS. )
+! and/or report failed mount atempts more user-friendly.
-- Package-specific info:
Boot method: CD
Image version: dvd-images 06/2016
Date: 10/07/2016
Comments/Problems:
The Message from the Installer (in german):
"Teile ihrer Hardware benötigen nicht-freie Firmware-Dateien, um zu
funktionieren. Die Firmware kann von einem Wechseldatenträger, wie einem
usb-stick oder einer diskette, geladen werden."
I suggest the following Information to add:
"external media must be FAT (32? 16?) -formated"
"the Fw-Files could be in rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw or in a .deb-archive or
whatever"

And thank you for filing these installation bug reports, they have been very
useful at the time they were filed!
If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still
existing
in recent installation images, please file a new report for that!
