sir, you probably had a bad day and mistakenly downloaded the lxde (for
its smaller size)
You are ~50% correct ;)
I wasn't having a bad day until after spending two hours at
local library using their "high speed" connection (high
relative to what I have at home via 56k modem).
I indeed chose lxde over gnome primarily on size.
Secondarily I'd seen it on Ubuntu 10.10 and thought it ugly.
In any case, lxde itself is not the problem. both salix and
porteus offer lxde *AND* internet connectivity in a smaller
package.
as everyone suggested, use the gnome version instead which can be get
from http://live.debian.net/archive/images/6.0.3/i386/iso-hybrid/
it the "debian-live-6.0.3-i386-gnome-desktop.iso
<http://live.debian.net/archive/images/6.0.3/i386/iso-hybrid/debian-live-6.0.3-i386-gnome-desktop.iso>"
file and do make sure the MD5SUM is correct before burning it to a DVD
(it's a 1.1 GB file)
