OK, in the small context of the above quote, revise that to say: "I still don't know WHY there isn't a choice of desktops given the person installing Debian *DURING THE INSTALL*." That's what was implied by the complete text of my original message (I hope). I agree with you fully that there is a choice of (almost) everything, BUT that is NOT the perception that many people have, including the author(s) of the "chooser" program I mentioned. I just figure as a user and supporter of Debian distro that I'd like to see as many as possible using the works of the developers, for their satisfaction and for the benefit of all of us. Just a step in making it easier for a novice to install Debian helps in this direction, cutting down on the time need to help. I don't think that Debian should be "dumbed down", but I do think that anything that can be done up front to make the install go better would be beneficial (to all of us). Joey and team have done a remarkable job in the present installer, which went a long way to boost Debian. It was not my intent in making the original post to debate the subject, just to point out something of interest to some, and to make a suggestion.
