I don't really know, it is a net install, draws the current packages
from the repos... so it must have access. no wire was plunged in and my
wifi adapter needed iwiwifi-7260-17.ucode and asked for it.
The installer seems to Only install needed/desired packages.
for example, I did Not want the "default Debian desktop" (gnome) and
wanted only Mate... so I got exactly that, and less cruft.
I do like Buster, and it will be the new "stable" in a few months.
Buster is running on one of my machines, and has had no problems for
several months.
There is a lot of vetting to even get to "testing" aka Buster, I suspect
there will be little change before it goes mainstream.

Hopefully the same will work for you
Thanks Peter
This will be my fallback.
It will ask me if it then uses those ISOs to install OTHER firmware
things, correct?
I don't want an Ubuntu-scenario, where it just dumps in all kinds of
non-free things to make a nice "user experience".
ps
How's Buster overall?
Should I just jump to that?
Thanks!
