Comments/Problems:
Installed i386 version of Jessie, selected MATE desktop. Upon booting, just got infinite loop of iwlwifi trying to find firmware.
Upon reboot, this started, but calmed down enough to let MATE load. I installed the wrong firmware package, rebooted, and could never get back in
Re-ran installation but chose XFCE instead. Started to have scrolling action but then XFCE loaded. I got the right firmware in and no more scrolling
Bottom line is it installed a system that wouldn't boot without firmware (or a lot of luck.)
