The problem is that beginners or those who do not pay attention will have the DE of their choise + KDE. The wil be a lot of confusion in the Mageia menus, and functionnal redundancy.

Hi,
It is possible to update the idea of Claire Robinson and Derek Jennings ?

Thanks for helping to clean our Bugzilla, epilip.

The behaviour of installer did not change, though, the desktop that is preselected in the chooseDesktop screen, is preselected in the next screen, too.

I doubt it would be good to have nothing preselected in that second screen, though. If someone can forget to deselect an unwanted DE, he/she can also forget to make a selection. In that case, a minimal install would be done, which is certainly worse for beginners than accidentally having two DEs installed.
