There's more than one way to install both GNOME and KDE in Debian - just not with the installer ![:)]( "Smile")
F'rinstance if you wanted to install KDE on your GNOME machine you'd install task-kde-desktop using apt or tasksel which will give you everything but there are lighter packages available. You could install kde-plasma-desktop or just plasma-desktop instead.
GNOME works the same way; you've got task-gnome-desktop at the top and gnome-shell as the most minimal package that will give you a working GNOME desktop.
I run openbox so I don't install any desktop environment. If using a netinstall image Debian will connect to the network used during install even if you uncheck *all* the boxes in the installer. When I install I just install ssh server and standard system utilities and build from there. I've done one install where I unchecked everything, I wouldn't recommend it. Most of the standard system utilities are stuff you'd end up installing at some point anyway![:)]( "Smile")
