Yes, it's more like a sort of an official question to track easily without subscribing to the mailing lists. Thanks for a quick answer, but please don't hurry with closing; IMHO, we should get at least a comment from Joey Hess as the author of the original Git commit: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=tasksel/tasksel.git;a=commit;h=2a962cc65cdba010177f27e8824ba10d9a799a08 Some links to the discussions regarding that commit & choosing the default desktop for Wheezy will be warmly appreciated. --- Holger Wansing: > Indeed, that "fix" is not working perfectly: > Installing from CD1 (beta3) without a mirror still leaves you without X > (at least for i386) (see #692118).
