By rights it should offer all sections. But personally I prefer doing just a standard install. Then when it boots to command line I tell it to install what I want, not a general large arrangement of stuff I probably won't use or need. Below are the packages I install from command line after initial re-boot to get a nice GUI and the essentials (for me):
Code:
apt-get install x-window-system
apt-get install alsa alsa-utils
apt-get install kde-core synaptic mozilla-firefox mozilla-thunderbird gnome-system-tools libgnome2-perl kdm
apt-get install hal usbmount
apt-get upgrade
/etc/init.d/kdm start
The last line starts X and bring you to KDM. Then you slowly add the things you want, not the stuff that will eventually bloat your system.
