The menu that you see immediately after the BIOS finishes is presented by syslinux, which is the bootloader used by the Debian images. At this point the installer is technically not running. Depending on the menu entry used the installer is then loaded (booted) with parameters like 'expert' or 'desktop=xfce' that determine what options are presented *during* the install or what is meant by the "Desktop Environment" entry presented later. http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s03.html.en As far as I remember (I haven't done an 'expert' install in a while), during the install there is no easy[1][2] way to chose what desktop will be installed as part of the "Desktop Environment" task. [1] it can probably be done by switching to a console or so [2] I seem to recall a "Select individual packages" check-box, but this was probably the installer for sarge and it would be a stretch to call that "easy" :) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
