Hello.  
I did a fresh install of Debian 7.0.0 (Wheezy), using the 
debian-7.0.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso.  

In the past , during the install process, it would ask if the user wanted to 
include the contrib and non-free repositiories.  Not this time.  The install 
went okay, but only included packages from the main repository.  

If I manually added "contrib" and non-free" to /etc/apt/sources.list, and did 
apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade, would that add the missing contrib and 
non-free stuff?  And would that mess up the already installed system?


Yes, but no, and probably not.  Yes the non-dfsg stuff would become available, 
no it would not automatically install anything, you will have to add those 
yourself, and it would not mess up anything, since nothing changes except some 
packages would become installable using apt-get that weren't available before.
