Good evening,

I am very new to Debian, and would like to apologise first, I might not know how exactly to describe this issue.

I tried to install Debian on an unused laptop I'm having, using the iso downloaded from this torrent:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/10.4.0+nonfree/amd64/bt-dvd/firmware-10.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso.torrent

It started wonderfully, the installation went smoothly until it tried to connect to the Internet. It asks for additional non-free firmware, unfortunately it's an Intel wireless card. It gives a list of files it needs in order to configure the network, which is I suppose a good start. Still,
1. I have no idea where to find those files, Google didn’t help me much with this.
2. If I find those files, I don’t know where exactly to paste them on the installation drive for it to see them.
3. This installation iso pretends it contains non-free firmware already, so normally it shouldn’t ask for those files. Am I missing something?
Therefore, I had to cancel the installation, at least for the time being. It would be rather useless to have a system without Internet access.

Here is the list of files the installer asks for:
iwlwifi-8000C-36.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-35.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-34.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-33.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-32.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-31.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-30.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-29.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-28.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-27.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-26.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-25.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-24.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-23.ucode
iwlwifi-8000C-22.ucode

I will be grateful for any tip that would help me make this work, I'm not ready to give up, would love to keep one foot in the world of free software, except for the Network card of course. *smile*

Thanks for helping the newbie, and sorry again if I'm not asking things the right way.

Regards,

Vlad.
