This case is certainly as anecdotic as CD1, but somehow in this situation CD1 can be very useful to step forward. So a CD1 with a light windows manager would be a good idea;http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/ → debian-6.0.5-amd64-kde-CD-1.iso → debian-6.0.5-amd64-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso I’d appreciate if debian-devel could be a place where we talk about Debian development, not a place to answer newbie FAQs.
Claiming that ``What is on CD1 is really anecdotic, since most people use (or should use) the netinst'' really sounds as claim of a newbie who has never installed Debian on a computer. So do not be surprised to get newbie like responses. Otherwise, I can manage anecdotic situations without reading newbie FAQ: thanks !
the other windows managers could be placed on the other CDs.I’d also appreciate if people could stop spreading dumb shit like “KDE is just a window manager”.
Did I say that ?
We could easily ship our 70+ window managers on a single CD. Yet we now have trouble doing so with a single desktop environment.
I wanted to stress that netinst may not be the only way: the ``most people'' argument is a little short, not to say a newbie argument. Jerome
