May I chime in? I'm currently installing a squeeze system, didn't bother using
expert mode or fishing around for extra commands, and started the install,
expecting to get a choice when selecting "desktop environment" in tasksel, and
didn't really want to install a big desktop because it's a slow

I'm very suprised to see syslinux menus being used to offer a choice
amoung desktop environments. This subverts d-i's design principles on
several levels:
1. It's a fundamental principle of d-i's UI design that we ask questions
using debconf. And the clumsiness of this syslinux menu UI for

Personally, I agree with you. But I do feel the choice should only be
offered if it is done correctly. And that means someone will need to

Hi,
Let's re-discuss the situation as Lenny is released.
On another front, the situation changed for opensuse (see my previous mail on
the bug report). Below, you'll find some links about it and I think it's the
way to go:

Hi,
IMHO, it's too late to change things now for Lenny. But I guess, we'll need to
re-discuss the situation after Lenny release for KDE 4 series.
Especially when I read this:

Severity: wishlist
debian-installer for Lenny should have a desktop selector if the "Desktop" task
is chosen, or separate tasks for at least KDE and Gnome, and better if for XFCE
as well.
