Hmm, wasn't there the option to just install the basic X stuff? Then you only need the DE-of-choice afterwards. Should not be too much download, is it?
Yes, that would be an option, but the pattern was removed from the list a year or two ago. There is a basic text pattern, but no basic X pattern. Or I did not see it.
It is the desktop that is used as failback, too.
The installer devs wanted the initial package screen to be kept as simple as possible, so basic X got moved to the screen that follows selection of the 4th option, "Custom". There it's called "X Window System", which provides IceWM from the XDM login manager. That same screen also offers XFCE, LXDE, LXQt, Enlightenment and Mate, in addition to re-offering Gnome and KDE, and offering a wealth of other patterns, such as print server, file server, development, laptop and Xen. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
