I tried installing task-cinnamon-desktop. It worked smoothly from command line. A lean server plus a desktop environment is a good starting point for my use case. Thank you. Aptitude is even more convenient. Very nice.
Didn't know --no-install-recommends either. I find a server with libre office odd. Even a browser. Well, that's off topic.

Thanks. That's very helpful info. Clears up my mind.
I feel that I am very close, just one step from 'installable from tasksel'. It's just that there is no options for desktop environment on tasksel screen, if only one server cd is used for installation. A little bit further from 'installable from tasksel' on the Install Guide page would be nice.

Thank you. The size of the desktop dvd about 1G larger than that of the 4 cd set gives me a false impression that the installation from the server cd set will be lean compared to from the desktop dvd.
I tried to let it scan all 4 server discs during installation. It did show options for different desktop environment. Then, I swapped CDs, and proceeded. And, then, it got stuck. Silly me really. I will just stick to the desktop dvd, even though it's not the leanest. Close is close enough.
Thanks again.

Hi,
Newbie here. Playing with installing Daedalus and Chimaera on virtual machine before doing it real. Installing from a desktop dvd is straightforward. I would like a lean system, and so try installing the 4 server cd's. Using only the first server cd is successful. Though, having problem with desktop environment. Did a bit search for documentation and posts with no luck. Is there any installation guide for, let's say, cinnamon desktop with the 4 server cd set? Thanks.
