You have to specify which desktop, e.g. gnome-desktop or lxde-desktop, as live-build does specific configuration tasks for each, e.g. autologin. > Perhaps the web-frontend page should allow text entry for > --packages-lists, like it does for --tasks and --packages, instead of a > drop-down menu like it does for --binary-images and --distribution where > the options are mutually exclusive. I don't know. Unlike tasks and packages, the lists are very few in number, and useful permutations are unlikely and small. It would be better to have separate debian-science-gnome (-lxde, -kde, -xfce) lists that just include debian-science + each of these desktops.
