Hi,
Many thanks for testing!

I've seen this in the past, and thought it was due to unreliable
connectivity. I more often see problems fetching the base system
packages, and sometimes have to manually retry that step. Perhaps there
is a bug causing it, or it's just not trying hard enough.

I think tasksel is already supposed to hide uninstallable tasks, and
indeed, meta-gnome-desktop should be uninstallable in testing:

kfreebsd-amd64.

iSCSI isn't implemented yet, and shouldn't be listed there. Only
showing because it's an arch:all udeb and unsatisfied dependencies are
not being considered by anna. I should try to put partman-iscsi in the
anna excludes list.

It's interesting to see that module loaded. I guess os-prober loads it
in order to scan for ntfs partitions, and that's good. Someone said
that feature wasn't working, but seems like it may start to work as soon
as fuse4bsd/0.3.9~pre1.20080208-9 migrates (of already if installing the
sid distribution). Needs to be tested on a machine having Windows...
