Bug#452388: "Standard system" is confusing



CC'ing Manoj and bringing the topic back to the BTS. Sorry, Manoj, if
you're subscribed to -boot and don't need the CC... When topics fall
in a mailing list because the ML is the place where bug reports land,
one never knos what to do....:)

Quoting Manoj Srivastava (srivasta@ieee.org):

I like that one, except maybe that it still doesn't really says that
there will be nothing like a GUI installed. At the beginning of this
thread, the point was saying that for most users, "a minimal operating
system" is pretty likely to implicitely mean something with a GUI (
whether they're wrong or not is not really relevant, indeed).

Anyway, the problem is *also* that, IIRC, the description of a task
has to be short enough to fit "on one line".
