Please ensure to include the packages for wifi cards, especially the iwlwifi since I don't use desktop pc. One of the most painful ways to install Debian is to realize that iwlwifi is missing during the netinstall process, while RJ45 cable is not available. As a result, one may download the package using cellphone and find a way to transmit that file to the laptop. If it's iphone then game is sadly over. In the past, such frustration had once irritated one of the new users to whom I have recommended Debian. The user's anger has finally converted into personal/emotional attacks, blaming me as a Debian developer being incompetent to make the wifi card working. As a result, I as a Debian developer, would never recommend Debian to any new user, nor discussing linux with any new user since then. iwlwifi is the very only reason that forced me to never use the the default iso again. That said, my word only counts as a vote for the wifi card packages. Just wanted to mention that iwlwifi may hurt people.
