Wifi Drivers are available in the unofficial Debian iso files.
Unfortunately, a Live CD with just Command Line Installation isn't
available - that would be so nice if it were.
So we have to use the net install CD with firmware.
https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/9.6.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/
The CD image itself is 326 MB:
https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/9.6.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-9.6.0-amd64-netinst.iso
I don't remember if this CD image had a bug in it, but I had to use an
older CD that didn't have the bug in the firmware that I needed for WiFi.
Again, if anyone has the ears of the people who make the Debian CDs,
it would be great to have a CD that installed a command line system,
including sound, networking, and mail and web browsing.
Web: w3m, lynx, elinks, links2 (works with framebuffer in color) an
ftp client, irssi for IRC, wodim for making CDs and the files for
DVDs, alpine, mutt for mail, and so forth.
It seems like a logical place to start. Those who have some vision or
who want X Windows can install the Graphical Interface. Those who want
keyboard centered system and don't want visual interface can use
command line.
Best wishes,
David

I would also like this.
I think having wifi configured during the install would solve most of
the issues here.
