Many thanks for the trail of crumbs in the maze. At the end of a bit of a google hunt, debian-7.8.0-i386-netinst.iso was the one I ended up with at the mentioned link. It's a bit over 290 MB. ...
That should've been from https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst#smallcd (cf. #verysmall you mentioned).
#verysmall = netboot = ~20MB (d-i kernel, ramdisk & bootloader) #smallcd = netinst = ~120MB (that + udebs (installer modules)) ... AFAICT your main problem was clicking "Tiny" instead of "Small" :-)
I have NDI - just followed links till I got an iso, then ran with it. (Doesn't seem so tiny when it got here, but it goes, mostly. I'll start another thread with its most puzzling weirdness.)
