&gt;&gt;<i> I think we should offer the choice to:

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>    working free driver
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - or to have _working_ free driver
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>    (that is including the needed firmwares)
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> As pointed out in earlier discussions about this issue...

</I>&gt;<i> There is 2 points needing fix.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> - the installer should detect the need for nonfree, and ask if people
</I>&gt;<i>    want to enable it. (or simply ask if user want to add nonfree media)
</I>
of course this means that the DVD installer has nonfree on it's DVD (or
have a separate media for that, which is less easy)

&gt;<i> - the other thing to fix is to change the installer option about
</I>&gt;<i>    &quot;additional CD&quot; to &quot;additional media&quot; and allow for browsing for
</I>&gt;<i>    additional rpms on a cd/dvd/disk/usb/... media.
</I>
add here, also nfs/iSCSI/http/...

in fact that screen should be redone and done differently:

[X] this media (DVD or whatever)
[ ] media from mirrors [dropdown with mirror] (by default automatic)
[ ] (here the media added from advanced is added when closing advanced)
------------
[X] updates
[ ] nonfree
[ ] tainted
[ ] backports
[ ] testing
[ ] debug
+ button advanced with custom media (for urpmi-proxy or local media for
instance)
