Alan,

"If I were you, I wouldn't start from here". If you have no network
connection, you might find it easier to begin with a DVD image as this
provides more software to begin with. If you can plug in the USB-Ethernet
adapter and a cable, even better. You will almost certainly need some
element of network connectivity thereafter. [Given the opportunity, always
use a wired connection - wifi generally causes firmware issues. You can
boot a Debian live media image to check for firmware / hardware issues -
but they are a couple of GB big - you can then use the installer from that
to install Debian.
