> The installation manual provides all this information. OK, this is fair, I wasn't thinking about the manual as I've installed Debian quite a few times and know how the installation goes. Perhaps the text could include a reminder to check the manual for more info on firmware loading, or even a QR code to take me to the correct place? >> I ended up grabbing https://saimei.ftp.acc.umu.se/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/testing/20211122/firmware.zip >> and extracting the firmware files from firmware-iwlwifi_20210818-1_all.deb >> Would the installer have coped if I'd just dropped that single deb file? > > Yes, as stated in the installation manual. > >> Maybe it'd be worth having an option to allow a user to tether a mobile phone via USB to grab the firmware online. > > This is automatic if the phone emulates a USB-ethernet adapter. > Perhaps the prompt should say "We can download the firmware automatically if you are able to use an alternative connection, such as mobile tethering", although I wonder how this would work for non-free firmware. >> Also, a cdrom: entry was added to sources.list even though I installed from USB. > > Because both contain the same ISO image so have the same data structure. But Debian was looking for these files at /media/cdrom - would the installation USB be re-mounted at this location? --Adam
