Package: installation-reports

Hi there,
I would like to mention a kind of bug in your net-install iso image.

When tried to install Debian on my net book (Toshiba Radius 11 L10WC10C)
using the debian-8.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso image i got the following error:

Installer was prompting me to provide proprietary drivers for
rtlwifi/rtl8723befw.bin.

As a new user that i thought to try Debian, i didn't had this driver to
feed the installer and as a resut the installation made was a basic one
without internet connection.

Although i succeed to find this driver on web, i was not capable to make
the installer load this rtl8723 driver.
Maybe a kind of typical file browser within the Debian Installer could be a
good idea, to allow me to drive Debian Installer to where this driver file
is.

On the other hand consider a new user trying to test Debian, and the whole
thing collapses for a missing driver (while other distros like Ubuntu
provide that driver out-of-the-box).
