Alternatively, just go with the installer as first offered to you,
(Choose "Install") and choose the desktop you want when you get to the task
selector. It currently offers both of the ones you mention as options.
There's no need to go via a minumum install unless you have a reason for
wanting to do so.
Note: Until recently you had to choose Advanced install to get a choice of
DE. With the current Jessie, you don't.
I have just used this installer this afternoon, and it was great. Very easy
and fast. I installed LXDE and added TDE.
