Can I install desktops like Gnome from NET inst?

[Rupert Heesom <rupert@heesom.org.uk>]

I will shortly be trying to install Debian 64 onto a dual-opteron
machine.

I also want to install support for an Nvidia graphics card and the Gnome
desktop.  I've seen instructions here about handling the NVidia
graphics.  

What I don't understand so far is whether the netinst CD downloads the
necessary files for nvidia support and (optionally) the Gnome (or KDE)
desktop.

Does the net install CD only install the kernel/progs/IA32 chroot etc
and leave you to install anything further such as workstation desktop
etc?
