Debian 8 RC2 Installer let you install multiple DE

Post by wayne128 »

This is what I saw when I install Debian 8 RC2
This is new to me, and it is good for people who like to have more than one DE on the same installation.

check on all DE you want to install and it will install for you.
GNOME, XFCE, KDE, Cinnamon, MATE, LXDE

Cool. The first distro I ever used, Mandrake, back in 2002, automatically installed KDE and Gnome, then you could select whichever DE you wanted when you logged in. Might have to give Debian 8 a try one of these days.

It was available in the RC1 installer too. I installed Jessie with XFCE and Openbox a while back.

Thanks excollier for the information


I tested these combinations and work
1. xfce + mate
2. xfce + mate + kde + lxde + openbox

This one does not work, it flag out errors and I need to re-select a combination
select ALL DEs.

Other combination not tried out yet

Just capture some info from terminal

Code: Select all
