Yeah, but I wasn't able to startx.
I got a terminal, looked at xorg.conf (looked fine to me), and tried startx.
When I passed the startx command to terminal, I got some msg about a 
missing command
(missing command in line 23: xauth, or something like that.  Suppose I 
should have written it down.).
I did a second install.upgrade, thinking maybe something was somehow 
missed, but all that got installed the second
time was some chinese language pkgs.  It's not even giving me the option 
to choose what's installed or upgraded.
That's unlike any other K12/RH or FC install I've ever done.
