I downloaded http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.0.0/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-8.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
whose integrity I checked using sha512sum, sha256sum and md5sum. I
also verifies gpg signatures for the same. So I am pretty sure I have
the official Debian 8.0 dvd1 iso.
I am stuck at how to create a separate partition to hold the firmware
files as mentioned in Debian Installation guide.
