[Fsf-Debian] Non-free firmware question during install

[Paul van der Vlis]

Hello,

When during the installation the network device needs firmware what's
not on the install-media, you get a message about missing non-free
firmware. [1]

In most cases it will be missing non-free firmware, but it's possible
that there is free firmware what's not on the installation media.
E.g. because it's really new.

Is it an idea to change this to: "Some of your hardware needs firmware
what's not on the installation media." ?

With regards,
Paul.


[1] the message:
------------
[!] detect network hardware

Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware to operate. The firmware
can be loaded from removable media, such as a USB stick or floppy.

The missing firmware files are: ......

If you have such media available now, please insert it, and continue.

Load missing firmware from removable media?

Yes       No
----------
Where "Yes" is the default choice.
