Re: Debian SID mini ISO with firmware included ?
Probably need to use the Testing netinstall and change the sources to Sid - https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof ... 64/iso-cd/

Re: Debian SID mini ISO with firmware included ?
I had a look and found a mini.iso for sid here and corresponding non-free firmware here but there isn't a mini.iso with firmware included. However, since sid is primarily a developmental branch of Debian, one supposes that enabling non-free firmware if necessary, which might be problematic for beginners, would be a trivial matter for developers and other expert sid users, who, to quote the wiki "know their way around Linux, Debian, and the Debian packaging system."
DebianStable
Code: Select all
$ vrms
No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian! rms would be proud.Re: Debian SID mini ISO with firmware included ?
Horrid, hackiness follows, ye have been warned !!!
Well wait a min, actually would need to know what you have in mind before bothering with the madness I was going to discuss. So can you elaborate on what your usecase is, what you're attempting to do ?

All you have to do is put the firmware .deb either in the root or in a directory named /firmware on a second USB stick. The mini-iso will detect the firmware and install it.
Been there, did that
