Re: Wheezy-beta3 kde install.
There are 3 solutions, here. The first one is to install KDE, LXDE or XFCE at install time. To achieve this, you have to go to installation options, at boot time. I do not remember the exact name, maybe advanced... Here, you will find things like automated install, expert install, their GUI variants, and alternative desktop environment. The last one is a sub-menu which will allow you to choose a different DE than gnome. The second, installation time again, is to choose to *NOT* install desktop environment when the installer ask you which package you want to install. After that, you will have to install what you want in command line (using apt-get or aptitude, depending on your preferences). This is my usual install process, removing everything, then going into aptitude, disabling auto-install or recommended packages (so many useless things there...) and adding my usual tools. Because I do not use a classic DE, this is easier for me than to remove all crap they install, even more since aptitude does not auto-remove suggested packages marked as automatic (and so makes it harder to have a clean system with only used packages). The last one is when you have an existing installation. Go on a tty, kill gdm (and more generally, X server), then, remove gnome* to install what you want. Removing gnome* can be made by the aptitude ncurses (easier imho), or both aptitude and apt-get command lines. Each of those methods have their advantages: 1: easier when you do not really want a highly customized installation 2: the longer way, but let you install only things you are almost sure to install 3: allow you to correct an error you did at installation time If you need more details, just ask again.
