Hello Marcus and allI 'got around' the tasksel problem by following a suggestion of Sam's (see mailing list archives around early Dec) so that I could actually try out the desktop and some applications.
The installation on a Thinkpad laptop with ath5 based wifi went like this...
* Boot from the mini.iso and enable networking (I used wifi)* When you reach the tasksel stage, unselect the Desktop task, install the other three tasks
* Reboot into a command line on the installed system* Become root and add lines to /etc/network/interfaces to allow either a wired or wireless connection (see Debian Networking wiki page for instructions)
* (Become root if not already) and apt-get install network-manager-gnome gnome-shell gdm3 epiphany-browser to get a basic desktop with Web browser
* Remove or comment out the temporary lines that you added in /etc/network/interfaces and reboot
* You should see the graphical log-in screen and be able to connect to wifi using network-manager-gnome when you log in
* Install other packages as needed I'm sure we won't need to use work-arounds soon enough. Cheers -- Keith Burnett
