I still consider this a grave bug in the Debian installer. It either should install most popular desktops together when the desktop task is selected, or install a lightweight one like XFCE if space/download time is a consideration. Actually I'd expect an installer of a neutral distribution like Debian to ask. If OpenSUSE can do it, Debian should also be able to. Therefore is a bug or oversight in the Etch installer. If this isn't fixed in one of the Etch updates, I recommend to file bug reports for the Debian installer when Lenny gets into feature freeze. Cheers, Kevin
