Could you just reply on the simple question : why the boot is not
stateless ?

>Just stick to the FACTS and if you want to argue on
>something, bring PROOFS !
In the fact (first mail) I give :

On [1] you could see 7 steps.
Step 1 to 5 is network initialisation (adsl synchronization, dhcp,
check on the dslam, ...)
Step 6 is software update
Step 7 is operationnal

When there are no firmware update the sequence is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
When there is a firmware update it is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7.

But you haven't a freebox, so how could you have seen this that ?
Even other people agree that may be a GPL firmware stored in the freebox
(see https://linuxfr.org/~crevetor/19607.html and the author of
http://www.f-b-x.net/ told me the same thing by mail [2])

Have you read the mailling ?
it was about case were hardware was lended...

"Please let's continue on legal gpl-violations.org ML."...

non je me suis mal exprim?, elle garde le syst?me sur sa rom et le met a
