Yeah, for some reason I too had problems navigating to the netinst image and It was just the plain vanila image without the firmware. I ended up going to the wrong page about 3 times from different attempts, but as Steve has already mentioned, there is a bug open about this. So I agree, Mr Steve Wright is ... correct. Also downloading the installation manual to find out how to navigate to the download page sounds like something from Monty Python. -- The media's the most powerful entity on earth.
