+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 :)
