</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> It can't be "free" and have "non-free" firmware... previously the
</I>>>><i> firmware only were on the Live CD's. I am not sure anything has been
</I>>>><i> changed in that regard (i.e. I didn't see the matter get discussed
</I>>>><i> yet).
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> Correct. It's the same dilemma you have in Mandriva. You either need a
</I>>><i> cable attached to use the free edition or you have to use the "ONE
</I>>><i> Edition" and install all the needed software later (ex:
</I>>><i> system-config-printer, which is not on the ONE cds). If you want to
</I>>><i> have a free distribution there's no way around this as long as there
</I>>><i> is the need for non-free firmware to use certain hardware.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> A possible solution for people with such a setup could be a non-free
</I>>><i> "driver cd ISO" which they could include in the installation process.
</I>>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> This is actually a very good idea, and already supported by the installer,
</I>><i> so it should work nicely...
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I think this is the way to do it...
</I>
I'll open an "enhancement" bug for that.
