2023-01-30Add non-free-firmware reference.Cyril Brulebois
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 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.)

2021-11-21Paragraph about graphical installer was not visible for some archs. Fixed ↵Holger Wansing
