kde desktop not getting installed


Hello,

I have installed Debian with the option

expertgui tasks="kde-desktop, standard"

But it hasn't installed kde or gnome. My pc starts at the shell and if I type startx I get an error that command doesn't exist.

aptitude install x-window-system

next run...

aptitude install kde

this should get you a GUI & a KDE desktop...

some debian expert may have a better method but this would work for me if i was using debian...

Thanks it worked but I still don't understand that why didn't it install kde at installation time. I have done it before and it woked. On another PC I just entered expertgui and Gnome was installed correctly.
