== About non-free firmware in Devuan minimal-live
|
|
|
|
Devuan minimal live comes with all the available firmware
|
|
packages pre-installed. This means that also *non-free*
|
|
software is present in this image. Actually, those non-free
|
|
firmware packages are *the only* non-free software packages
|
|
installed in this image.
|
|
|
|
This choice was dictated by the necessity to facilitate
|
|
new users in getting their hardware, and expecially wifi
|
|
cards, working out of the box.
|
|
|
|
However, we highly value the freedom of Devuan users, and
|
|
we would rather prefer to not be ever forced to use non-free
|
|
software, at all.
|
|
|
|
For this reason, we provide a simple script, called
|
|
"remove_firmware.sh", which allows to remove all non-free
|
|
firmware from your installation right after boot. Just run
|
|
the script, and all non-free firmware will be removed.
