Re: Installing Etch: how to select KDE instead of GNOME?
First of all, thanks to you all.
I've tried "installgui acpi=off tasksel/first=kde-desktop"
The installation starts without complaining, but kde is not installed.
Searching with synaptic, there is no metapackage called kde-desktop.
I mispelled something?
There is any documentation about the booting parameters? (in the F1-F10
help screens there is nothing about tasksel)
Thanks
