Dan states in a recent email, that the way he
installs TDE would be to
install a MINIMAL XFCE installation and then install TDE
Somebody stated you could install XFCE or MATE and then install TDE.
You can go that route but if you don't need XFCE or MATE just install
Debian without a desktop and then install TDE from the command line.

Exactly as Mike says - you don't have to install any desktop environment.
You can use any standard installation media (the best is netinstall or
netboot because they are small), run the installation in "Expert" mode and
in step to select tasks / packages for installation, select that you do
not want to install any of the desktop environments. You get a bare system
with a text console, where you then perform steps for TDE installation.
