Actually, rereading his post, I don't see him saying he followed the procedure I followed anywhere; rather he says he installed testing without a DE, then tried to install a lightweight desktop with aptitude, so this is something of time-waster, isn't it? apt-get --no-install-recommends No? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
