The thing of it is, no matter what kind of screen the developers come up with,
there will be some people that want some thing different,
For me the perfect Desktop, is one that has the command prompt,and it is
easy to see,... ..others
want a Welcome Screen, with windows style Icons, and maybe some kind of
"Tour Guide", that explains to them step by step, how to right click this Icon,
or Left click the other Icon,...etc,.. what ever, ...Others like the "Gnome" classic, style
others, XFCE, and so on,....
As mentioned, for the Developers, they have enough work , and are kind enough
to provide us with a basic operating system, that works well, they also do offer
a variety of Desktop Environments, so that users can pick which one, or ones
they like, all of which are easily customizable,...
What somebody could do, is if they really think others would want it,, ( I think I am repeating myself),
And actually quite a few people do, create a background or theme, and submit it:
http://mate-desktop.org/themes/
or
http://mate-desktop.org/backgrounds/
For example, obviously for a different DE like XFCE, they would have a different
url,...
So then if the "new user" wants to use the "theme" with a welcome screen, or a background with Welcome to Debian , and some links listed to help the beginner,
They can select that theme or background,..
One of the main reasons I like Debian, it is a good basic Operating System,
then the user (me), can install or create what ever Desktop Environment or Windows Manager we want, in fact most of the DE's and WM's available for Debian, are also available for the BSD's and even Unix as well, ...
After all said and done, though, the forum is Debian User Forums, and I am not
really sure, but I do not think very many active developers spend much time
looking at this forum.
If someone really wanted to suggest something be added or included in the
installation images, (CDs/DVDs) then they should try some of the mailing lists,
that the developers use.

Topics do not get closed, just because there is not much interest,
The OP, (person that started the topic), can edit the subject line, and say
it is "solved", if it is a problem and the problem is solved,... Who knows,
some people may find it interesting to read, and there may be others that
have additional comments, or even ideas.
by bw123 » Putting it in console would be cool, but nobody wants to read man pages, they don't like black screen, I think they're superstitious nowadays.
I agree on , "the black screen", part, I don't like that either, I changed mine to white,background, with black text.
