[Arm-dev] Request for the Xfce desktop

[Robert Moskowitz]

Fabian,

Sigh.  I am a pretty basic guy.  What you are asking here is beyond me.

See the end here, where I did some group info on my F28 system.

I really need a cookbook of what groups to install on minimal and then 
some script to at least get Xfce base in.

Like I said, if you want a desktop on an armv7 SOC, something nicer to 
your resources is valuable.  Xfce was there first in Fedora.  I have 
looked at some of the others since them, and have stayed with Xfce.
