This for me - no desktop installed by default - but an easy
way to choose whichever desktop you want if you want one -
would be ideal.
Can we produce a minimal netinst which does just this
for a default install and adds desktop selection
for an expert install.
This would be ideal for minimal servers, VMs and test
installations.
