If you just got the netwinder, you probably have up to date firmware,
all you really need to do is put the Debian image on a partition,
change the /etc/fstab entries and boot it up. Then you configure
everything else. Or you could do it first... doesn't matter much.
Your points are all valid, afaik, but I wouldn't expect a lot from
rebel.com (although they have been helpful with my broken netwinder).
As far as Debian stuff, it's all volunteer work, so if it's broken -
help fix it:-)
