src:dmraid has dropped its udebs, and the experimental support from the installer was also removed a while ago. See discussion in bug #864423.

2023-01-30Drop isenkram-cli section and reference.Cyril Brulebois
It was a welcome band-aid for Debian 11 (even if it required some heavy lifting to work correctly), but becomes unnecessary with Debian 12: we do have modalias information (as we did for Debian 11) and official installation images include non-free-firmware packages, so graphics drivers shouldn't be an issue anymore.
2023-01-30Update sources.list section.Cyril Brulebois
This is a little more subtle than that: hw-detect only enables the relevant components, but in practice almost all firmware packages are from non-free-firmware, so let's keep things simple.
2023-01-30Mention the dep11 metadata directory and its purpose.Cyril Brulebois
It would be a shame if users would delete those files and make hw-detect's job harder.
2023-01-30Delete section about https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firmwareCyril Brulebois
Given the way debian-cd's make-firmware-image works, it seems quite unlikely (even if always possible, lots of changes there lately!) that we would be missing actual firmware packages, i.e. packages which have a good-looking name *and* actual firmware files in the expected location. Sending users on a wild goose chase seems like a waste of everyone's time.
2023-01-30Trade unofficial images for official ones.Cyril Brulebois
2023-01-30Delete note about kernel modules.Cyril Brulebois
Since hw-detect uses modalias information (Debian 11), video drivers will get noticed by the install-firmware hook even if check-missing-firmware doesn't see any missing firmware files mentioned in dmesg. Debian 12 makes it much more likely to find required firmware packages.
2023-01-30Mention non-free-firmware as a new choice in apt-setup (expert mode).Cyril Brulebois

2021-11-21Paragraph about graphical installer was not visible for some archs. Fixed ↵Holger Wansing
the conditions. And since the graphical installer is the default for amd64 and i386 now, I moved some related info to the top of 'How the installer works' chapter, instead of having it hidden somewhere in the middle.
2021-09-28'Installation over the network' is misleading for the use of ↵Holger Wansing

2021-07-30Document the isenkram-based procedure (See: #989863, #991627).Cyril Brulebois
Start by mentioning a few workarounds that might help log in into the installed system: nomodeset & Ctrl-Alt-F2. Document how to use isenkram-cli to automate firmware installation (and mention what happens so that users are taken by surprise). Finally, set an `id` for this new subsection so that it can be linked to directly. v2: Apply suggestions by Holger Wansing, thanks!
