I came up with a different idea to make the DVD work better.  I
reduced the priority of the gnome and lxde tasks below the language
tasks, to make sure their packages are the ones pushed out of the dvd
when it get full instead of the langauge specific tasks.  Given our
options, I beieve it is better that the default desktop setting
install properly from the DVD than to fail to keep all three desktop
settings on the DVD. :)

This should still be looked into, to try to fix the gnome and lxde
packages on the DVD.

I've also added some of the packages only installed using PXE to the
package list, to get them on the DVD.  This should have reduced the
difference between them a bit.

Happy hacking,
