How hard can it be to give the user a choice during the install, and why is

    You are given a choice.  You just refuse to see that.


the way to choose is fine by me, but, for example, manually going through aptitude and finding kde somewhere in tasks isn't exactly easy for the newbie; as said before the tasksel options are not targeted to for advanced debian-users

I think, if the newbie just wants kde because of some fancy screenshots, it's too hard for him/her; remember the newbie doesn't know the character '/' upons up a search in so many linux/unix tools, so he/she is completely lost in an unknown interface Why would it complicate matters so much to add a menu item in the tasksel selection labeled 'KDE desktop' that ads 'kde' to the list of packages to download (as aptitude will do the rest) ? I do not understand :-s

note, I do not say it's a problem for me, and I personally wouldn't care too much whether there's a KDE option right there - but I do say it'd likely be a problem for me if I never saw aptitude before, without the faintest idea how to search

just a small remark
