Hi,
I have tried
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/bullseye_di_rc2-live+nonfree/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-blsy-DI-rc2-amd64-lxde+nonfree.iso
for another installation - but network-manager keeps on missing. This is
true for the generic Debian text installer as well as the installer from
Live system. I consider it an important thing to fix for the upcoming
release.
Kind regards
Andreas.
