That looks very good, Ana. The only downside I see is that the page
may not be easy to find, There is mention of the boot option in the
Installation Manual:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch06s03.html.en#di-install-software
which I, of course, don't bother to look at since I've been using
Debian for 8+ years. :-)
However, having to perform the procedure on the page linked above
really makes it seem like KDE is a second class citizen (I don't want
to start or further a flame warm, it's just an observation). For as
good as the Etch installer is, when it gets to the taskselect stage,
not having a choice of desktop-kde, desktop-gnome (default),
desktop-xfce, etc. seems like quite an oversight.

Thanks for the work the KDE team does. I, for one, really appreciate
it.
