When I did my test evaluation installs of Stretch RC3 a few weeks ago, I used the LXDE install disk since LXDE uses Openbox as its window manager, the one I prefer, to save time instead of messing with the Expert Mode, which I normally use. I'm about to do a final test install in VirtualBox before doing it for real, but it won't be tomorrow. Maybe in a week. Let the list know what you discover. Thanks B
