Hello All, I installed debian for my friend yesterday. I know the "non-us" component is obsoleted from release notes.
I remembered the old installer does ask you if you want "non-free" and "contribute" packages on your sources.list. But yesterday the new installer doesn't prompt me. Does that mean components options of "contrib, non-free" are obsoleted as well? I manually added them. It seems working. However I cannot clarify this issue. I read man page of sources.list, but it says: "...while component is one of main, contrib, non-free, or non-us...." It still mentioned them all. Also on webpages: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages And http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html They all mentioned those three components "contrib, non-free, or non-us". So I am confused that what indeed we can use now? I will be much appreciated if anyone can clarify my confusion. Many thanks Leo
