<p>
If any of the hardware in your system <strong>requires firmware to be
loaded</strong> with the device driver, you can use one of the
<a href="https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/">\
tarballs of common firmware packages</a>. Instructions how to use the tarballs
and general information about loading firmware during an installation can
be found in the Installation Guide (see Documentation below).
</p>

<p>
<strong>Notes</strong>
</p>
<ul>
#	<li>Before you download the daily built images, we suggest you check for
#	<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Today">known issues</a>.</li>
	<li>An architecture can be (temporarily) omitted from the overview of daily
	built images if daily builds are not (reliably) available.</li>
	<li>For the installation images, verification files (<tt>SHA256SUMS</tt>, 
        <tt>SHA512SUMS</tt> and other) are available in the
	same directory as the images.</li>
	<li>For downloading full CD and DVD images the use of jigdo
	is recommended.</li>
	<li>Only a limited number of images from the CD and DVD sets is available
	as ISO files for direct download. Most users do not need all of the software
	available on all the discs, so to save space on download servers and mirrors
	the full sets are only available via jigdo.</li>
	<li>The multi-arch <em>CD</em> image supports i386/amd64; the
	installation is similar to installing from a single architecture netinst
	image.</li>
	<li>The multi-arch <em>DVD</em> image supports i386/amd64; the
	installation is similar to installing from a single architecture full
	CD image; the DVD also includes the source for all included packages.</li>
</ul>

<p>
<strong>After using the Debian-Installer</strong>, please send us an
<a href="https://d-i.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s04.html#submit-bug">installation report</a>,
even if there weren't any problems.
