I did see your post.


So, even though the sha256sum was perfect on the iso file and on the DVD,
it failed to install.
I then used a usb flash drive and booted the flash drive to do the install.
It also failed.
The screen image I took with my camera can be viewed at
https://www.sendspace.com/file/4828ej

The questions I have are:
why VNC ???  VNC is a horribly insecure protocol.
Why would I want someone from outside viewing my installation?
Why is the X server looking for display :1  ??
I only have one display screen on the laptop, so the display is :0

This is a horribly broken ISO spin.
