IMVHO it would probably be better to redesign the task selection screen into a single choice menu similar to this: ,---- | Gnome Desktop Environment (graphical) | KDE Desktop Environment (graphical) | LXDE Desktop Environment (graphical) | Xfce Desktop Environment (graphical) | Standard Unix environment (text only) | Basic install (text only) `---- Moving the cursor over the selections would give brief explanations about each option and should probably mention what hardware recommendations each option has (3D, RAM, etc.). Even better if this is done before the partitioning stage so that guided partitioning recipes can be checked/adjusted according to the size requirements.
