I guess many of those who can afford a system with Blueray reader and waste bandwidth downloading an image for Blueray (which is needed for offering multiple desktops during install, I believe) likely would want a shiny desktop like GNOME or KDE. I don't expect that to be a common install media, however. >> There already exist netinst media that solve that problem much better by >> including no DE packages on the media. > > Netinst media and other install options are not the main subject of this > thread.

It is about which default we suggest for our users. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
