Installing Debian



I just wanted to drop a line and a suggestion for the install of Debian.  I am new to linux and installed using vmware as a virtual this past weekend.  There is a part in the install that says what would you like to use this for.. Prompting you to select Desktop, DNS and such.  IT DOESN'T TELL YOU HOW TO SELECT.  As dumb as this might sound I had the cursor next to Desktop and so I pressed enter thinking I was installing the packages for desktop.. Nope!  I installed nothing for desktop because after reinstalling and trying to use apt-get install many times I figured out that the SPACE BAR is my friend and needs to be pressed to place a "*" next to Desktop.  I can't be the only one out there who has done this but if someone could add <use spacebar> or something that guides you to press it this may help aid the less knowledgable for future linux installs.
 
BTW, Debian rocks!
 
Later,
Jeremy
