Is it as simple as appending something like "desktop=xfce" to the
boot
command line?
Actually yes, that should work; the install media for GNU/Hurd and
kFreeBSD are doing exactly this.
So I tried it. And it works.
Here's my proposed patch -- Add the following to /install/boot.msg :
The following desktop environments are available: gnome, kde, xfce and
lxde. The default is gnome. If you prefer a different one, append
"desktop=<your choice>". E.g. to do an expert install with the xfce
desktop environment, type
"expert desktop=xfce" at the "boot:" prompt.
Would it help if I submit a wishlist bug report?
Thanks!
Rick
