Debian Testing AMD64 2009-12-27 Daily Build Net Install CD Dual AMD Opteron system with Broadcom network cards
Boot netbootCD Select Install Select Country Select Language Now the system asks to load the tigon/tg3_tso.bin firmware. (Broadcom Network Card firmware) I selected no and continued on the install. (Strange, did it get the firmware from somewhere else, or was there an open source alternative?) It does not indicate that there is a problem, or that the netinst will or will not work without the firmware. Perhaps a better message saying what requires the firmware, whether or not there is an open source option, and the ability to use it, and whether or not the device will work. Overall the message is very, vague to an end user, a little clarification would be good. -- Chris Brandstetter -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d+(-) s++:++ a C++++$ UBLISXC*++++$ P++++$ L+++$ E-- W+++ N+ o K- w-- O M++$ V PS- PE Y+ PGP++ t++ 5+++ X+ R- tv-- b+>+++ DI D+ G+ e+ h++ r y? ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ To Decode: http://www.ebb.org/ungeek/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
