Not in the slightest rude.
I'm sorry I can't help you get the firmware onto the stick; it's
something I will need to do in the future but just haven't had time to
figure it out (so I was going to watch for replies to this thread).
But my workaround (to reduce bandwidth as much as I could) would be to
install with firmware-netinst as far as the first reboot and then use
the DVD you've got from then on.
I quite understand if even that amount of bandwidth is too much for you.
Cheers,
David.
