Description of problem: These packages are not available in installer menu for selection. They are present on the DVD (Mageia-4-RC-x86_64-DVD.iso) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Mageia-4-RC-x86_64-DVD.iso How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
First you can select them if you: - choose "Custom install" in "Desktop Selection" step - check in "Individual package selection" in "Package Group Selection" Feature:Independently_install_desktop_environments was added then reverted as not mature enough With new "Package Group Selection" design that uses Expanders and is quite less ugly (no more scrolling bar by default), we could add more desktop check boxes for mga5 (for now only LXDE is missing from meta-task's compsusers.pl) (https://wiki.mageia.org/en/File:Desktop_custom_selection.png) I don't think we should revive the "Independently install desktop environments" approach, it makes the desktop step too complex & likely to "break" with translations (think scrolling bars).

Created attachment 4842 [details] Add LXDE to package group selection Anne, Thomas: do you consider adding LXDE at this stage? BTW, those who added RazorQT & E17 ruined the screen by using the "desktop" word instead of "workstation", making the entries looking inconsistent.

Hope you add it again that i can select it in the desktop group.

And I would like to add that it would be nice to check all is again right with the World before MGA4 release. Would a network install be a good enough substitute to check the problem is fixed? Or does that use a different set of installation wizardry? Richard
fixed by Anne (with new string but well)
