        No, that did not work either, the option is simply missing.

        But, I have been using Fedora for a long time and forgot the
        obvious due to systemd on recent versions where it was easier
        just to use the graphic start screen. The solution is simply to
        set /etc/inittab to level 3 and after rebooting I can now log-in
        and enter "startxfce4" and I am back in familiar territory with
        a desktop I know how to deal with. All is happiness and light
        once more!

        Thanks all,

        Bob
