Debian did (and does) help those without (good) network access by providing
a very complete distribution on CD-ROM. A user with a full Debian CD set is
rather unlikely to need network access in order to get software.
The "installation procedure that doesn't need to be babysat" and "system
setup procedure that will attempt to setup and configure everything from
fstab to Xconfig", on the other hand...
