I will have to keep in mind next time to use XFCE or MATE as a base before installing TDE. I used LXQT this time for a base.. I hope that I won't have any problems in the future with TDE. About using SHELL... I guess I would have to of download the full debian ISO to get the options of XFCE minimal? I used the Deb Mini ISO which had to download LXQT off of the internet and then install it.
