And the reason you install from a spin, as history will show, was a
technical limitation in the live CD that doesn't allow package selection.
We never designed it that way. It just happened. There was a time where,
when you wanted KDE, you clicked the checkbox next to KDE at install time.
With our default and spin media we've actually _LOST_ functionality that
AFAIK is still not back after years of work. If it is please correct me.
