[note: your quoting method for this wikitext makes it appear that I wrote it.] > and I agree that the sentence "You have to install all end-user > applications later" is incorrect. I think it's a case of Caveat Lector because this is a wiki page. "There are four options to install GNOME in Debian:" I'm counting five in the following list. "GNOME (core only) gnome-core package This is a minimalist GNOME installation" People are minimalists, installations can be minimal. This one obviously isn't the latter, and doesn't itself claim to be. "(You have to install all end-user applications later)." > Even Iceweasel is a dependency of gnome-core. I didn't know that > Mozilla is a part of gnome. ... so there's *one* end-user application already installed for a start. "Above packages depend on this one." What does "above" mean? gnome-core appears not to depend on gnome-accessibility, the item immediately above it in the list. (Notwithstanding that gnome-accessibility is actually a package in squeeze, not wheezy.)
