Another limitation with regards to hardware compatibility testing is that the official &debian-gnu; live system contains only free components, i.e. there are no non-free firmware files included in it. Such non-free packages can of course be installed manually within the system, but there is no automatic detection of required firmware files like in the &d-i;, so installation of non-free components must be done manually if needed."
