Yet there is no link there to the > unofficial pages. Yes Google finds them.... You are not alone. The problem as I see it is that it's easy to find this page: https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst on which three options are given. When you click on an architecture, the 2nd and 3rd options take you to directory pages. However, the (most popular?) first option has ISO links¹ which you certainly don't want to click on if you're playing by the rules. If you copy the ISO link (right click it) into a browser's address bar and rubout the ISO name itself, you'll get to (for i386): http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-cd/ This difficult-to-find page will not only satisfy those searching for SHA sums, but it also has a paragraph headed: Non-free Firmware which gives you a link to firmware-inclusive versions, daily/weekly builds etc etc. ¹ Bad design IMO. They ought to take you to http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/<architecture>/iso-cd/ This page has links which make it obvious what they're pointing to— huge files! Cheers, David.
