If it's a new install he could re-install going to expert with the

he then will have an install with only KDE.
If he doesn't want to re-install he can run:
tasksel install kde-destop

It's too bad that the option to install KDE is so far back from the
point of obvious choice, and that the only place I've seen
the "expert tasks="standard, kde-desktop"" is in posts telling me,
now Philip, what we should have done.
I still consider this a grave bug in the Debian installer.
It either should install most popular desktops together when the
desktop task
is selected, or install a lightweight one like XFCE if space/
download time is
a consideration.
I think there's more than ten options for desktop managers. Should it
install them all?
I don't think it should install ANYTHING without asking the user what
they want.
Actually I'd expect an installer of a neutral distribution like
Debian to ask.
If OpenSUSE can do it, Debian should also be able to. Therefore is a
bug or
oversight in the Etch installer.
Yep, asking is best.
If this isn't fixed in one of the Etch updates, I recommend to file
bug
reports for the Debian installer when Lenny gets into feature freeze.
Why wait? Get it in the BTS now so someone has time to work on it, if
you're passionate about it.
