Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>

Replacing Windows XP with Linux.

Install went fine.  When system rebooted, Gnome failed to start.  (Gnome failed on the previously


installed Fedora 19 release too).  I was hoping to install KDE with Debian on this
install, but that wasn't an easy choice.  At least with Debian, there was a fallback to 


a usable terminal window (Fedora hung waiting for the desktop init to complete).

Would like to have an option during install to select from a list of Desktop GUIs.


Gnome, KDE, ???

That's one possibility. There's also a bug report tracking the
possibility of including that choice into the regular debconf-based
questions/answers process, so keeping this one bug report around isn't
necessary.

Al, thanks for the report anyway.

Mraw,
