Hello,
at the time of writing this was actually the current state of
things in svn/git.
The change to XFCE as the default desktop environment has later
been reverted, but from the bits of information I gathered from
the mailinglists I got the impression that a final decision has
not yet been achieved, in particular because of the space
problems on CD1.
I have not yet tried d-i beta 4 due to time constraints, but my
last state of information before the release of beta 4 was that
an installation of GNOME and KDE with only CD1 and no network
mirror results in a non-working desktop environment, so I have
not yet changed this text. Can anybody confirm that with beta 4
a CD1-only installation actually results in a working GNOME/KDE
environment? Has there been a _final_ decision about the default
desktop environment for wheezy?
Regards,
Karsten
