This is simply not true.The completely free images are broken for most users that want working WiFi, unless you count providing firmware separately as "working". I don't think this is something that can be argued against. This is especially bad for netinst images.Again, I'm not saying that there shouldn't be images that contain non-free firmware, but dismissing the images that don't have firmware on as useless is harmful and misleading.Sure, there is some use for them, mostly VMs and some of the Ethernet-connected machines.
During install, the installer asks if you have a disk with drivers on for this closed hardware, I don't know what it wants at this point.
If we could insert a 2nd usb disk, or anything with the correct drivers on, it may help.
