firmware-atheros is not on DVD-2 or DVD-3 anyway if that is what you want. It appears to be a kind of X/Y problem, seeking the wrong method to achieve the required result. firmware-atheros is included in the unofficial non-free installer. Note that possibly not all firmware (or drivers) for all Ath...

Please read the OP.

exactly. I usually label the partitions to the same as the ISO should labeled the CD/DVD-disk.. this way, the system often finds it on its own, if it is looking for specific label. But sometimes on installations, it can be so that the installer asks for the disk or you have to point to where the in...

"this image is either non-bootable, or it uses a compression method that is not supported by Rufus" Only DVD1 is bootable . DVD2 and DVD3 are used as Repositories. They are just storage. They have no need to be capable of starting up by themselves... Right, I get that. But the fact that t...

How can I use them on a Windows laptop? Well, I see... If you identified the firmware package you need, download it and put it on a usb. The boot dvd-1 should get you to a desktop, Or even a netinstall to the tty prompt. From there you can install the deb. Someone may know where to put the deb duri...

You have access to this site, so you have access to download the deb directly and use gdebi or apt to install it ?! Maybe I'm missing something. Can you please explain what you're suggesting in better detail? I don't know what you're telling me to do. Gdebi and apt are Debian package managers, corr...

What firmware do you need exactly?

firmware-atheros

It's the third package in this list.

Hi :) If you don't want to burn DVD disks.. Just make one usb-stick with rufus. I looked at the content of all three disks and some content has the same names, so they can't be in the same partition/disk, but is is only the first iso that has bootloader. So If you have a large usb stick 16GB or mor...

DVD1 doesn't have the firmware that I need for my WNIC, so internet is not available to that laptop. Maybe I should've asked the question a different way. I have need of DVD2 and DVD3. How do I make use of them? Are you sure the firmware you need is on DVD2? Free firmware is on DVD1. Non-free firmw...

Code: Select all

 man apt-cdrom

Got it. So I'll type this into my Windows Terminal and press Enter, then insert my DVD-1.iso media into my other laptop, boot it, and will have access to the data on DVD-2.iso and DVD-3.iso?

So they can only be installed after Debian is installed? No, mm3100 is correct, you only need dvd1. The others contain extra software and are only useful if you don't have Internet available. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to put # in front of the lines with dvd. Then do # apt update . Now you can inst...

Initially, you will only need to download and use the first image of a set (labelled as debian-something-1 to be able to start the Debian installer and set up Debian on your computer. If there are more images available here (labelled debian-something-2, debian-something-3, etc.), they contain the e...

I'm trying to install Debian 10 using all three DVD images with non-free firmware . DVD-1 burned to a USB drive just fine. I then tried to burn DVD-2 to another USB drive using Rufus, and it told me "this image is either non-bootable, or it uses a compression method that is not supported by Ruf...
