Dear John Being new to Debian from Fedora, what I did is to abort the installation. Download the firmware-realtek_0.44_all.deb to a usb stick from the following site by double clicking one of the mirrors https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/firmware-realtek/download Then I restarted the installation with the usb plugged in and all went well.
