It installed kde as expected.
I'm not sure what the "--" is all about. It was not present when I
installed with the "netinst" CD and typed
expert desktop=xfce
at the "boot:" prompt. As noted, that installed xfce4. So the --
may not be strictly necessary.
Take a look at the stuff in /install/yaboot.conf on the install CDs.
I think that's where all this is originating from.
OK, cool. Thanks for confirming. I've taken your text, tweaked
slightly, and added it into debian-cd. I've also added some code to
work out the default desktop so we can list that. I'm building a
weekly powerpc set right now with the changes in - please test and
make sure all works OK?
I can see the code looks ok from here, but I don't have easy access to
a powerpc machine to be able to check that text fits on screen
correctly, silly things like that...
