Looking at the i3 desktop kickstart file, I tried using lightdm (just to see how I fare): .... %post systemctl enable lightdm # create /etc/sysconfig/desktop (needed for installation) cat > /etc/sysconfig/desktop <<EOF PREFERRED=/usr/bin/openbox-session DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/lightdm EOF .... %end However my LiveCD stops wtih saying: Failed to start lightdm.service. I am not sure if there are other errors too, but is there something else I should have done above beyond enabling lightdm above?

Specifically, I was thinking that I could have startx go into starting the window manager. However, I can not quite figure out how to handle this.
