Strangely enough, if I download the ubuntu-alternate CD, I can install
Ubuntu-desktop (which uses Gnome), then install the Xubuntu-desktop
and/or Kubuntu-desktop from that CD, can´t I? Has that now been changed,
too? I have done that with 5.10, 6.06, and 7.04, at least. I have not
tried it in 7.10, yet. It did make it easier, since I did not have to
download the different versions each time.

Just my own thoughts,
