2023-02-19 | Document the new firmware alias | Holger Wansing | |

basically the same order as the paragraphs in this preseed chapter) | |||

2023-01-30 | Add hw-detect/firmware-lookup=never to preseed reference. | Cyril Brulebois | |
2023-01-30 | Add apt-setup/non-free-firmware to preseed reference. | Cyril Brulebois | |
2023-01-30 | Add non-free-firmware reference. | Cyril Brulebois | |
2023-01-30 | Drop 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. | |||
2023-01-30 | Update 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. | |||
2023-01-30 | Mention 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. | |||
2023-01-30 | Delete section about https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firmware | Cyril 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. | |||
2023-01-30 | Trade unofficial images for official ones. | Cyril Brulebois | |
2023-01-30 | Delete 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. | |||
2023-01-30 | Mention non-free-firmware as a new choice in apt-setup (expert mode). | Cyril Brulebois | |
2023-01-30 | Explain non-free-firmware vs. hw-detect/apt-setup. | Cyril Brulebois | |
2023-01-30 | Mention non-free-firmware instead of non-free. | Cyril Brulebois | |
Also mention the change happens with Debian 12.0. | |||
2023-01-01 | typo fixes | Andika Triwidada | |
2022-10-14 | Encourage users to file installation reports in English | Holger Wansing | |

DVD/BD installation images | |||
2021-12-26 | boot-installer accessability: proofreading | Holger Wansing | |
2021-12-25 | Fix partman-partitioning/choose_label type to select | Samuel Thibault | |
2021-12-25 | Provide more details on the textual front-end keyboard shortcuts | Samuel Thibault | |
2021-11-26 | Clarify about the popcon functionality (does not depend on the 'version of ↵ | Holger Wansing | |
the installer', but simply on user's choice) | |||
2021-11-26 | Consistently use 'text-based installer' for the text installer (newt frontend) | Holger Wansing | |
2021-11-21 | Clarification about graphical installer info | Holger Wansing | |
2021-11-21 | Add entry for the new graphical.xml file (forgotten in previous commit). | Holger Wansing | |
2021-11-21 | Paragraph about booting the graphical installer was in file x86.xml, but it ↵ | Holger Wansing | |
also contains content for powerpc (and it may contain content for arm64 in the future too). So move content to its own file graphical.xml. (Content was conditioned for the respective arch already.) | |||
2021-11-21 | Paragraph about use of graphical installer was visible for all archs, even ↵ | Holger Wansing | |
for those, who have no graphical installer. Fixed condition. | |||
2021-11-21 | Paragraph 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. | |||

2021-10-27 | Overhaul of chapter 'Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting' | Holger Wansing | |

in pkgsel 0.69 | |||
2021-10-03 | preseed: add a comment, that automatic network configuration is the default | Holger Wansing | |
2021-09-28 | 'Installation over the network' is misleading for the use of ↵ | Holger Wansing | |
network-console. A netinst installation is also working via network. | |||

2021-09-15 | Some more changings in the light of Linux <-> GNU/Linux issue | Holger Wansing | |
