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
