I'm not sure this is the right problem. The installation talked to me just fine. I took a crack at installing Mate along with everything else.
When it finnished, I went for the re-boot option. It came up asking for user name and password. I guess it took it, but I was lost there. Never used a GUI before. Tried Alt-right arrow to get to a console. NothingWent through the shutdown procedure and it did so. Going to try for a CLI install this afternoon. Thank you much.
