I tried using synaptic to load packages in my new Debian 12.8.  After I 
specified many packages, I clicked on "Apply" and received the message:

  "Please insert disk labeled: Debian GNU/Linux 12.8.0 _Bookworm_ Official
  amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20241109-11:05 in drive /media/cdrom"

I do not have such a CD.  I installed from a USB stick.

I tried to continue and received the message "Failed to fetch cdrom Debian 
GNU/Linux 12.8.0 _Bookworm_ Official amd64 DVD 
Binary-1/pool/main/r/rsync/rsync-3.2.7-1-arm64.deb".

Why does synaptic need firmware?  Is synaptic supposed to be usable on a fresh 
installation?
