Thanks also from me to Ben who served me some time of writing. :-)

I would like to add the fact that not necessarily all currently existing
Blends are actually providing installation media.  The idea is that this
is not always necessary / wanted.  You can just install plain Debian
and install some metapackages on top of it.  You can have an overview
about those Blends with their metapackage content at

     http://blends.alioth.debian.org/

BTW, do you have in mind to create a certain Blend?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
