Upon booting, just got infinite loop of iwlwifi trying to find firmware. Upon reboot, this started, but calmed down enough to let MATE load. I installed the wrong firmware package, rebooted, and could never get back in Re-ran installation but chose XFCE instead. Started to have scrolling action but then XFCE loaded. I got the right firmware in and no more scrolling Bottom line is it installed a system that wouldn't boot without firmware (or a lot of luck.)
