Just as an update to this

I loaded with the new image for lxdm

It has a graphic program for installing and I installed with a 
gpt with the fat32 efi mounted to /boot/efi (I wipe of the 
drive) and using xfs on /dev/sd2 for / and fat32 /sd1 for /boot/efi


I thought from the docs was no longer supported /boot/efi , and 
installed as a straight uefi, and used the entire hard drive
with no empty clusters and it worked, to my suprise.

now I am relaoding my home directies from back ups.  This is 
nearly 2 days off line on my workstation.  

No, I am having troubles with X11

I can't get a display

flatbush:[ruben]:~$ xterm
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyxterm: Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0
