Hi,
No, there isn't a DVD that includes all of non-free as such. Some of the
packages conflict with one another.
Read the release notes. The sources.list file has changed to take account
of the changes to non-free-firmware repository. The installation .iso files
now include most of hte non-free-firmware which will assist you to install
Debian.(If you installed 12.0 from nothing, the /etc/apt/sources.list would
be be correct from the beginning)
The changes to the sources.list file are outlined in https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList and in the release notes.

Three main steps:
1. Bring bullseye fully up to date. Read the release notes
2. Change the /etc/apt/sources.list file and apt update ; apt upgrade
3. Reboot. apt full-upgrade (or equivalent apt-get commands).
Hope this helps,
Andrew Cater

You're overthinking it. The upgrade steps for bookworm are very similar

to previous upgrades. The main difference is that a *second* change is
needed to sources.list.

change that you make every time.
In addition, you change "non-free" to "non-free non-free-firmware". This
is the new thing for bookworm.
If the only packages you use from the non-free section are firmware, you
might consider dropping the "non-free" and *only* including the
"non-free-firmware" section. This is a philosophical decision.

This should do it (mind the wrapping!):

# If this is bookworm, and it hasn't already been done (e.g. by

if lsb_release -a 2>1 | grep -i 'Debian GNU/Linux.*bookworm' >> /dev/null ; then
if ! grep non-free-firmware >> /dev/null /etc/apt/sources.list ; then

That is a ridiculous statement.
