Opts: (null) Hi, This is the official Debian media installer Try the unofficial non-free CD : from the lines I've selected, it looks as if you might be able to install via wired interface without loading firmware. Otherwise - you need to install firmware-iwlwifi for the wireless card You might want to install: firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-misc-nonfree firmware-iwlwifi to ensure that you've got everything. The unofficial installer including non-free firmware is at: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso Hope this helps. With every good wish, as ever, Andy Cater
