The boot parameter is the first question the installer asks when you
boot from the installer of your choice. To install KDE for example,
you should type:

install tasks="standard, kde-desktop"

It is in the Release Notes of etch under heading of Desktop selection
(http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-installing.en.html).
It might be a good idea to read the whole thing. d: The release notes
can be extremely useful.
