Thank you for point out the correct option. I tested it works now.
Thanks. :)

Either way are good for our users. Share one CD is better to prevent
e-waste would be really appreciate. It would be much easier for user who
wants to do offline installation on old computer and netbooks, and also
have choice for XFCE or LXDE. :)

If we want to hack on this, can we have a multi-arch CD/DVD and have
boot options for GNOME, KDE, XFCE and LXDE? That sounds cool, isn't it? :)
