I think there are different kinds of blends: some *are* "more seperated from Debian" while others are "more something on top of Debian"… IOW: I think there is value in being able to choose some blends directly in isolinux, while others are better suited with (possibly additional) debconf questions. (and I think I also like KiBi's latest idea of only showing (all the) blends if the users chooses blends…) -- cheers, Holger
