it has recently been announced that there will be seperate CDs for

desktop tasks listed? will there be one desktop task that installs
all
three? or will kde and xfce desktops simply not be availible from
tasksel.
In all cases you get a choice what desktop environment you want,
before
you enter d-i. d-i/tasksel never requires you to make this choice
in the
user interface, though. In the case of regular sized CDs, you make the
choice when deciding what CD to get. In the case of all other
installation images, you can make the choice when booting the
installer,
by typing "install tasks=kde-desktop"
Yeuch! There's *got* to be a better way to let a user of only
average expertise specify which desktop environment to install.
It should be an up-front/in-your-face option at "tasksel" time.
