I just downloaded the netinst image and placed on a flash drive.
I ran it with my internet access disabled by unplugging it to simulate
no suitable NIC. I saw no problem with how the lack of a functional
internet connection was handled.
Some small text only might make it feel more newbie friendly.
1. Add a link on debian.org in the box with the link to download
netinst. Have it lead to a short page describing the netinst pkg.
2. Modify the text displayed when the lack of internet connection is
found to explicitly state that proceeding will give a system with
command line interface and no a GUI.
That installer does produce a system very suitable for my minimalist
experiments. When I order my next multi-DVD set, I'll add it to the order.
