Actually, the ideal is to :
1) install without the desktop task.
2) once the install is finished, comment out security from /etc/apt/sources.list
3) apt-get update
4) tasksel and chose the dekstop task.
5) uncoment security from the sources.list
6) apt-get update
7) apt-get upgrade
This will get you all security upgrades except KDE, and will auto-upgrade even
it if it is fixed.
Alternatively, you can also take the list of packages where there is a
security warning that failed, and remove them, in order to not have
security-holed packages installed on the machine.
Now, the real question, is where to we put this information in order for the
users wanting to do a sarge install on powerpc to be aware of it ?
On the security.debian.org web page ? Maybe a real advisory should be sent out
about this even ? Or on the main debian web page ?
