1. Read Section 4.3.1. at
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s03.html.en
2. Put firmware-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso on your Linux machine. Insert a
USB stick into a port on the Linux machine. Type 'dmesg'. This will
tell you at the end what the name of the device is. Then
cat firmware-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso > /dev/sdX
where X will be b or c etc.
3. Boot the machine from the USB stick.
An alternative is:
1. Put debian-6.0.5-i386-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso on your Linux machine. Do
the same as in 2 above.
2. Read the link Camaleón gave you. Obtain firmware.tar.gz from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/
3. Make a FAT16 partition on your second USB stick with cfdisk. Format
the partition with mkfs.vfat. Copy firmware.tar.gz to the partition.
4. Boot with the first USB stick and insert the second one if the
installer asks you to provide firmware.
