The time has come for a new computer; the old one has the remains of KDE3/4,Gnome and LXDE on it. I want to start with a fresh install of Debian (unstable = wheezy) + Trinity on AMD64. What is the current recommendation for

- How to install Debian without automatically getting Gnome?

If you want to use Wheezy I think it is best to use TDE3.5.14, which is nightly builds as of now. I have a test situation setup with Wheezy & the TDE 3.5.14 nightlies, it is working okay. I won't upgrade my workstation until both are official releases though. Squeeze and Slávek Banko'w 3.5.13.1 is working great for my use.
I install Debian using the auto install mode. When the task select screen comes up I un-check the desktop meta package. This give me a base install + the standard packages....no X or DE stuff. I then add Trinity to my sources.list, I don't run with a backup DE installed.
I add apps which depending on which tool-kit was used to buld them , I get additional libraries, etc .from GTK or Gnome, or ?
