Ok, good :) Since I only looked at kfreebsd I didn't calculate sizes of GNOME and Cinnamon, but I wonder if similarly, if there's enough overlap in their packages, both could be ensured to fit on DVD-1? That allows Cinnamon to be installable offline from one disc, without building a new image specially for it.

Right, I wouldn't call it CD #1 because many would expect that to install the Debian default desktop. So perhaps clearly name it "xfce+lxde+mate" or something like "alt-desktops"?
