* Live reactions (Buster)
** groundwork
Using instructions from <https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware>.
*** Get netinst image from <https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/>
*** Get firmware archive from <https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/stable/current/>
So that the installer can use the wireless network card. Extract all
.deb files to a top-level =firmware= folder on a USB key.
*** Shrink the MS partition
Had to "optimize the disk", otherwise some free space remained
unavailable.
** installer
Everything went smoothly:
- if the USB key holding the firmware isn't plugged in, the installer
requests it, otherwise it finds the firmware automatically;
- Secure Boot supported transparently;
- dual-booting too.
** package repositories
Non-free repositories automatically added during the installation,
because of the WiFi firmware I presume.
** kernel issues
*** i915/glk_dmc_ver1_04.bin
kern.log:
#+begin_quote
i915 0000:00:02.0: firmware: failed to load i915/glk_dmc_ver1_04.bin (-2)
#+end_quote
apt install firmware-misc-nonfree seems to quiet that down.
*** i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report
kern.log:
#+begin_quote
i2c_hid i2c-MSFT0001:00: i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report (14/65535)
#+end_quote
About one message for every half-second spent touching the touchpad.
"Solved" with:
#+begin_src sh
$ apt install -t buster-backports \
linux-image-amd64 \
firmware-iwlwifi \
firmware-misc-nonfree
#+end_src
