Package: installation-reports Severity: minor Dear Maintainer, My installation needed non-free firmware. + i try to place it on a ext3-external HDD. + plugged it in as requested, but the installer didnt find anything, the mount-command fails with "invalid argumnts"(?) + but the installer did'nt told me this, i had to look at tty4. My suggestions: +! the installer should tell me that FAT FS is needed. + it also should tell where (which directory, which files ) and what file-format (deb and *fw). ( + or even better also handle extX FS. ) +! and/or report failed mount atempts more user-friendly. -- Package-specific info: Boot method: CD Image version: dvd-images 06/2016 Date: 10/07/2016 Comments/Problems: The Message from the Installer (in german): "Teile ihrer Hardware benötigen nicht-freie Firmware-Dateien, um zu funktionieren. Die Firmware kann von einem Wechseldatenträger, wie einem usb-stick oder einer diskette, geladen werden." I suggest the following Information to add: "external media must be FAT (32? 16?) -formated" "the Fw-Files could be in rtl_nic/rtl8168e-3.fw or in a .deb-archive or whatever" -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)Attachment: signature.asc
