Hi Kip, One downside to the plan suggested in the bug is that download times would be increased ( for those who know just want one DE or know which one they want and just want to download that.) (Internet is slow in some parts of the world) But it would indeed decrease the download time for those who would like to try out the different DEs by removing redundancy in what is downloaded for that scenario. another method to consider is the alternate / minimal installer, which is actually quite efficient,  with a beginners (default) mode for new users. (and those that know that they would have an internet connection upon installing.) ________________________________ From: Kip Warner
