Gah. Looking further, at the moment I don't see how (if at all) the
powerpc boot stuff passes through any of the kernel boot options to
specify a default task. Rick, what happens if you try with kde CD#1
right now? Does it actually do KDE, or does it still default to Gnome?
I don't know what happens if you use the KDE CD#1. What I did to test
was this:
Boot the "netinst" installer CD.
Enter at the "boot:" prompt
expert desktop=xfce
Answer all the questions until it gets to running tasksel.
Leave the "desktop" task checked.
Watch it install xfce4.
Be happy.
At one point in this process I switched to the F2 console and typed
"cat /proc/cmdline" and saw the "desktop=xfce" phrase there.
Does that help?
