It's been days that we look for a bug at install time. If you want to install xfce *after* that, just use apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies. If you want the task, then yes use aptitude install xfce-desktop You can manually tweak the command line to say that you don't want gnome-session or whatever. And I don't think apt-get can install tasks directly so the bug only triggers when you do that with aptitude. Anyway, I'm *really* lost about where we are, what the problem really is, and what exactly we are wanting to do to solve it. Frans: basically, you were not really involved in the loop, sorry, that's not d-i related in any way. We don't need to change anything in tasks for Lenny, so we stay with gdm and it'll be fine.
