A. Disk (1) begins without problem, then stops for wifi firmware:
Try it with one of the non-free network install ISOs from

I have been using these:

try booting with
firmware-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso
It should Just Work -- as in no stopping with a prompt for missing firmware.
Indeed it does, Lee. Thanks. But I infer that you did not recognize that is the
file (2) cited in the OP. And (as I just noted above in this thread) there's a
lesson in that: this has been WAY over-complicated. As a Debian newbie I don't
want to be critical, but do want to take lessons from this experience to help
me do some cleanup when I have a bit more Debian under my belt. This distro is
too good to hide its light (from newcomers) under a bushel.
