Free & nonfree ISOs exactly the same??
Why is there no difference between the free and nonfree ISO images? For example.. debian-live-7.4-i386-xfce-desktop.iso ..and.. debian-live-7.4-i386-xfce-desktop+nonfree.iso ..are exactly the same size, and the nonfree one doesn't actually have any nonfree firmware on it. It's been this way since at least 7.0, that I know of. Is there a place I can get live, installable ISOs that do actually have the nonfree firmware? Or a fairly easy way to make one myself? It would save a lot of time & effort when installing.

Can't do it with live-build, as apparently it can pull packages only from main. Nonfree firmware, of course, is in nonfree. > If you do not care about the "live" part, you can download unofficial > images of the debian installer with non-free firmware at: > > http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/ The ISO there is exactly the same as the one at live.debian.org, and does not include the nonfree firmware, even though it says it does. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#515721: live-helper: Boot methods there, but commented out
Package: live-helper Version: 1.0.4-1 Severity: normal I notice that the boot methods exist in the file live.cfg, but are commented out. Specifically, the file /usr/share/live-helper/templates.debian/syslinux/common/live.cfg contains the commented-out lines #label floppy # localboot 0x00 #label disk1 # localboot 0x80 #label disk2 # localboot 0x81 #label nextboot #localboot -1 After installing a live system on a USB flash drive, I uncommented the nextboot lines, and that boot method (which, incidentally, is not mentioned in the help, unlike disk1 and disk2), worked correctly. -- Package-specific info: -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26custom Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages live-helper depends on: ii debootstrap 1.0.13 Bootstrap a basic Debian system Versions of packages live-helper recommends: ii gettext-base 0.17-6 GNU Internationalization utilities Versions of packages live-helper suggests: ii dosfstools 3.0.2-1 utilities for making and checking ii fakeroot 1.12.2Gives a fake root environment ii genisoimage9:1.1.9-1 Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem ii grub 0.97-53 GRand Unified Bootloader (Legacy v ii memtest86+ 2.11-3thorough real-mode memory tester ii mtools 4.0.10-1 Tools for manipulating MSDOS files ii parted 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11.1 The GNU Parted disk partition resi pn squashfs-tools (no description available) ii sudo 1.7.0-1 Provide limited super user privile ii syslinux 2:3.80+dfsg-1 utilities for the syslinux bootloa ii uuid-runtime 1.41.5-1 universally unique id library pn win32-loader (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You can install the latest version of Firefox from Ubuntuzilla: http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net You want to uninstall Iceweasel before installing Firefox. I've had trouble if I didn't do that. -- PGP key: http://homestead-products.com/pubkey.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-live-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
