</I>&gt;<i> I've never installed with more than one cd, but from memory, the
</I>&gt;<i> installer asks for extra media, surely if your installing from the
</I>&gt;<i> free dvd and have to eject it to add a non-free cd then that would
</I>&gt;<i> cause problems, or have I misunderstood?
</I>
Nope,
Installer will only ask you to switch media when needed, and then continue.

&gt;<i> If I've misunderstood, this would be really great. An extra thing
</I>&gt;<i> would be a plug in that the installer could download for you
</I>&gt;<i> containing the non-free stuff. Quite often I install new stuff on my
</I>&gt;<i> laptop close to a wire, then take it out with me and thats when I need
</I>&gt;<i> the wireless stuff. Not to mention non-free graphics drivers on
</I>&gt;<i> desktops that have a wired connection having to be installed and set
</I>&gt;<i> up post install.
</I>
It already can if you add network medias during install,
but in order to pull anything from the net, you need the firmware
(if you have a nic/wifi that needs it)
