(CC'ing some contributors in the thread who might be missing this mail otherwise) I went again on this bug report (against tasksel) about the name of the "standard" task (and description) being somewhat confusing. The thread in this bug report is very long, but finally concludes that a rewrite is needed in some way....with, as often, various (sometimes contradictory) proposals. The best compromise as of now, in the thread, seems to be: Description: standard (non-graphical) core operating environment This is the subset of the distribution, installed by default, which can be added upon to provide a more featureful and tailored operating system. The current description is indeed: Description: Standard system This task installs a reasonably small character-mode system. I think we might want to converge to something like: Description: Standard (non-graphical) system This task installs a reasonably small character-mode system. I think that actually the synopsis is to be enhanced to make it clearer that the standard system is not graphical, which is certainly the main flaw of the current wording. (note that the synopsis is what appears in the menu during D-I). On the other hand, the current long description is fairly clear and includes a word I really like (reasonably) that makes it clear that the contents of the task is essnetially a compromise. Would anyone object to such change to fix this bug? --
