Provide a way to discover the working netinst with non-free firmware,
right now it seems to be impossible to find.
The official netinst image advertised on the homepage is for servers and
virtual machines only. How is an average user of Windows or even other
GNU/Linux distributions supposed to know that official Debian images do
not offer network access during installation on desktops and laptops?
