That's a fair point, my text was unclear here. Let's tweak it: "Where non-free firmware is found to be necessary, the target system will *also* be configured to use the non-free-firmware component by default in the apt sources.list file." Does that sound better? >If I'm not mistaken, code to do this already exists, and seems to work >well (but do correct me if I'm wrong). Ish! :-) We don't have any code in d-i to deal with the *non-free-firmware* component yet, but I#m sure we can adapt the existing stuff around non-free / contrib to suit. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com "Because heaters aren't purple!" -- Catherine Pitt
