They need binary blobs? You can choose to install them via a USB key during
the installation. Are you installing from a CD/DVD or using a CD to install
from the net?
If the former, just install a basic installation and install the kernel
modules when you have a functional system. If the latter, you need to use a
USb key to complete the installation, although I believe taht if you have no
internet connection, the netinstall CD will still give you a basic system as
a base from which to install the modules.
You can then run tasksel and install from there
(http://wiki.debian.org/tasksel), or you can install each package separately
via apt.
I have never personally used a USB key during an installation, so I leave
others to tell you how.
