It cannot be put somewhere else? Just wondering, I thought the
installation also was able to look at other things than just strictly
task-gnome-minimal (e.g. a generic "Graphical Desktop").

Regarding minimal installation: if you really do a minimal installation,
then install GNOME. IMO, I would expect only GNOME related things, but
maybe that is more my assumption on why someone would do a minimal
installation.

To me it doesn't seem like the logical place. GNOME doesn't require
drakconf, nor does KDE. It is something part of the distro. So as soon
as anything graphical is installed, you'll likely want it.

To be clear: Not objecting or suggesting to change; clearly you have
more experience. Just wondering and trying to learn :)
