Well if I'm going to continue with F20 network install I'm going to have to 
get things installed that I need. I was able to get startx install and the X 
frame buffering system but I start it and it successfully shuts down. 
There's nothing here for it to turn on evidently. There is a group called 
window managers that might be what I'm looking for. I can't get yum to group 
install. I try what I think the man page says and no go.

yum group install "window managers" -or-
yum groupinstall "Window maners"

No group will install.
