Here's some data about the desktop task (installed size using network mirror): Sarge: 1392 MB (included GNOME _and_ KDE) Etch: 1360 MB (GNOME only) Lenny: 1857 MB (GNOME only) As you can see, KDE was completely pushed out of default installs by the increased size of a GNOME install. To "solve" that we created the separate KDE (and Xfce) CD images. As you can also see, the GNOME install has grown by >35% from Etch to Lenny, thus pushing other important software (like localization tasks) off the lower CDs. The ever increasing size of the default desktop install also makes testing such installs increasingly annoying to do. Cheers, FJP
