    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Nov 18 06:40:07 2025

    Debian developer Simon Josefsson has announced
    the Debian
    Libre Live Images project, to allow installing Debian without any
    non-free software:

    Since the 2022 decision on non-free firmware, the official images
    for bookworm and trixie contains non-free software.

    The Debian Libre Live Images project provides Live ISO images for Intel/AMD-compatible 64-bit x86 CPUs (amd64) built without any
    non-free software, suitable for running and installing Debian. The
    images are similar to the Debian Live Images
    distributed as Debian
    live images.

    He does warn that this is a first public release, so there may be
    problems. See the current
    list of known issues before trying the images out.
