Hello,

With the graphical installer, When only installing i3-wm as desktop
manager I got an error like:

 i3-sensible-terminal error...

because there is no terminal emulator installed by default

The workaround is trivial for users but what about to add a terminal
emulator to the installer generated list of installed packages?

Thanks! Gio'.

Fixed in the installer in 676eb5880ec2fae03752513c2442aae0bda9bfc4.

This part is quite easy to modify and test, so if you have other ideas,
give them a try!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
