Ah, ok, I understand now.  I could not find a mention of these details
on the debian.org site.  Perhaps I missed it..?  Or if not perhaps the
information could be added somewhere..?

Perhaps the bussiness-card install CD could be renamed something like
"complete internet install CD" ? then the net-install CD could be
renamed "partial internet install CD", with a note about the partial
internet install CD limiting the user to an i386 kernel...?

Kind regards
