Thanks Ana.

How big would the resulting install be?

I'm asking because it is *essential* that the packages listed as "Key" 
don't install too large a system as they (plus all their Depends, not 
Recommends) must easily fit on a single CD (together with D-I, 
documentation (installation guide, release notes), base system, kernel, 
X.org, etc.).

Will the kde-standard meta package fit that requirement?

If not, it might be better to list something "smaller" as Key package, 
with kde-standard as a "regular" package that's to be installed if 
available.

"Key" should include only what's needed to get a basic working Desktop, 
nothing fancy.

And even after that, regular packages included in the task should also not 
total too much. Preferably the whole task should be installable from CD1, 
ideally with room to spare for at least some KDE l10n packages.

Cheers,
FJP
