Description Frank Griffin 2015-08-12 14:29:15 CEST 
Installs done by booting isolinux directly have no ability to include the nonfree drivers in stage 1.  For example, I can do an install on a wireless laptop by booting a burned copy of boot-nonfree.iso, but I can't do it by including a grub entry that goes to isolinux directly on a cauldron install directory, e. g.

title isolinux
kernel (hd0,6)/cauldron/x86_64/isolinux/x86_64/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=isolinux acpi=on resume=/dev/sda5 vga=791
initrd (hd0,8)/cauldron/x86_64/isolinux/x86_64/all.rdz

It would be very nice to be able to do a non-free install without the intermediate step of having to burn boot-nonfree.iso to real media.

Fixed in  drakx-installer-images-2.28-2.mga6

there will now be a isolinux/<arch>/all-nonfree.rdz
