Hello, I just wanted to point out that Splashy is being developed with debian-desktop in mind and Etch.
You might want to include Splashy in this task/virtual-package. ATM Splashy is not part of Etch as we are working on a bug that prevents Splashy work correctly when started from initramfs. We are about 10 or so developers working on this problem #splashy on irc.freenode.net. debian-desktop is NOT dead. On 8/24/06, Gustavo Franco <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Keep in mind that you will go through the normal questions and after install the base system you will be asked which 'tasks' you want to install. Select "default desktop environment" if it isn't already suggested for you. If you're in a laptop, it might suggest the laptop task too. For the record: - The "default desktop environment" is GNOME but you can install KDE invoking the installer writing "install tasksel/first=kde-desktop". You will be able to write just "install tasks=kde-desktop" soon - We need a better default artwork, and the discussions are going on - I would like flash (gnash) and java (gcjwebplugin) support out of the box, but maybe it won't make Etch in December due to upstream issues, not our fault; - multimedia support (audio/video playback with default apps and in the browser, cd/dvd burn support) is being worked on to be included by default too (where the codec licenses won't block us) [0] = http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ regards, -- stratus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
