I did the minimal install on my ee701.  At least the first attempt.

I set my swap at 768Mb, and left /boot at 500Mb (probably could shrink this next time). This left 2.7Gb for /

That swap will be too small for hibernate....

So a minimal install with also selecting Gnome (and deselecting a few things like snapwell or whatever it is called) resulting in only 737Mb used in /! Now I have a local repo, so I was able to select my local update repo to eliminate the update step.

So when the computer boots, I come up in multiuser, not graphical and it did not prompt me to create a non-root user and all those other first time boot options of a regular install. Sooo...

How do I start gnome so I can use its tools for things like creating my userID?
Whatelse do I need to set from the 1st time boot?
How do I change the runtime to grahical with no /etc/inittab? I looked at what inittab has in it now and tried the ln command:

ln -s /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

But of course this fails as there already is the symbolic link to multi-user.

It was quite a pain getting to this point as the ee701 has a narrow screen and you cannont move the screens in install to see what is off the bottom of the screen. You just have to guess....
