Running my imagination wild:

Is it possible to have a scheme where once basic install (OS+Basic
apps) finishes (not asking for any desktop selection), user is given
to explore the look/feel of KDE & GNOME . The user makes a decision
and the other Desktop is cleaned up from the system.

Too wild a thought?
