Just a note to say how smoothly this all worked when I installed the XFCE
version on my XO,
which had been waiting for more than a year for me to do anything on it.  I
use Debian on all
of my machines (about 6 in active use) and the default interface on the XO
was not to my taste:)

I also use Icewm, so I stripped out XFCE4 right after getting it loaded and
installed Icewm
and the startup is a lot faster--Icewm gives me what I want anyway.

Thanks for all the hard work in making an install of Debian on a
"non-standard" machine 
so easy!  Looking forward to subsequent releases.
