You will need to get that separately from the main repo. Do you have a floppy drive? The installer gives the option to scan extra disks for firmware; not sure if it would scan a floppy disk but it should scan a CD for firmware so you might be able to write another disk with the firmware. (One would normally put the firmware on a USB stick but I an guessing that is not an option for you.) Cheers, Michael.
