Your point is well taken. The installer does not offer choice in everything, just the big things. A choice of desktop, for example. However, even desktop choice is not presented in the installation steps. It's hidden in installer options. For example, I generally install with expert desktop=xfce and then, if I select "Desktop Environment" in tasksel, I get an xfce desktop instead of a gnome3 desktop. Perhaps the boot loader choice could be handled in a similar fashion. Something like expert desktop=xfce bootloader=lilo with the defaults being gnome3 and grub2, respectively. (Dare I suggest adding initsystem=sysvinit as an option too? No, I better not. I don't want to get that flame war going again.) Peace. -- .''`.
