Johnny,
I have this new keyboard with a poorly positioned Del key, and I deleted
your message in such a way that it seems to be gone. So I went to the
archive and pulled it up there.
yum group install Xfce "X Window System"
Helped. It added 6 packages plus 21 dependencies:
Installing for group install "X Window System":
plymouth-system-theme armv7hl 0.8.9-0.31.20140113.el7.centos
base 31 k
spice-vdagent armv7hl 0.14.0-15.el7 base 66 k
xorg-x11-drivers armv7hl 7.7-6.el7 base 8.3 k
xorg-x11-server-Xorg armv7hl 1.19.5-5.el7 base 1.2 M
xorg-x11-utils armv7hl 7.5-22.el7 base 107 k
xvattr armv7hl 1.3-27.el7 base 22 k
But I am now at the situation where the login fails and I end up right
back at the login page. I looked at the message log and see the following:

'AuthList' on the module 'authList'. That property was defined with
'let' or 'const' inside the module. This was previously supported, but
is not correct according to the ES6 standard. Any symbols to be exported
from a module must be defined with 'var'. The property access will work
as previously for the time being, but please fix your code anyway.

this looks like what I had when I did the 'manual install' and then
installed the group gnome and then I could get into Xfce.
So there is some critical module I am still missing.
but getting close!
