Hello.

This is what you would get if you chose not to install a DE when extra

n (like me) there is no real need for exim or
other MTA:
- workstation user does not and does not need to read root's mail
- runnig unconfigured MTA loads the system and is one more security issue.
That's why I removed exim off using kpackage (not tasksel)
Etch installs without exi
