[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Okay, here is a patch that does what I want.

That is, when the user does not select any desktop environments, it
prompts them about enabling NTP, with the checkbox already checked.

However, with this patch, the installer crashes after partitioning, like
this:

So, I've done something wrong. But I don't know what :)

I'm going to keep trying but hopefully somebody can help me.
