	Hi!

 Thanks, I am reading the list I post to, otherwise I wouldn't had
followed up to the thread. ;)  No need to extra Cc me.

 The unnamed "desktop environment" in the debian-installer installs the
desktop environment that is the default for that CD. There are first CDs
for gnome, KDE and xfce, so all three of them are "default".

 Mostly because I only really use it when I'm lying in bed in the dark.
Not completely sure if the usecases for that feature is much different
for other people, but I highly doubt that you (or others) would be able
to see me using that because of this.  ;)

 On the other hand, I haven't seen this on much other hardware
platforms, and given that specific hardware features (like this) indeed
_are_ hardware vendor specific, it shouldn't be considered too strange
that there are special tools to support them for that architecture.

 So long. :)
