[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#506406: xfce4: apt bug causes gdm to pull in unneeded/unwanted gnome dependencies
Actually, regarding documentation for installing xfce d-i post-install,
if we had an appropriate aptitude or apt-get line for copy-and-paste,
that would make sense.
The problem I see is that the appropriate line depends on the language
selection (e.g. a welsh desktop should probably have ~t^welsh-desktop$
as one of the terms). Is there any easy way to achieve this, or a way
to do this using tasksel instead of aptitude or apt-get?
How about making it possible to change the default desktop using
dpkg-reconfigure taskel and running tasksel interactively?
Ultimately the problem is that there is no easy way to install
non-gnome unless you use the xfce cd, and that is a problem for people
like me who use netboot and netinst images most of the time, not cd.
Regards,
Daniel
