Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you select 'graphical environment' (or
what's it called) during setup (in tasksel) Debian installs both Gnome and
KDE.
I can see we don't ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Debian doesn't want to favor anyone, so I
have no problems with this, but it's probably a reason that many people end
up with both. That is indeed a little bit bloat, unless you really want to
give both a try.
Maybe the people working on the new installer (that, I might add is a fabulous
piece of work) might consider differentiating between KDE and Gnome.
I have used the latest version (test candidate 1), but I skipped tasksel, so
maybe this isn't relevant, but if it is, the installer typically fetches all
packages from the net, so 2 DE's is going to add the the download/install
time considerably.
just a thought.
