Robert, Yes, thanks for your replay.
1. I downloaded the image from https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2016-10-23/lxqt-4gb/ and specifically I downloaded the file named bone-debian-8.6-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-10-23-4gb.img.xz <https://rcn-ee.net/rootfs/bb.org/testing/2016-10-23/lxqt-4gb/bone-debian-8.6-lxqt-4gb-armhf-2016-10-23-4gb.img.xz>from there 2. I used Win32ImageWriter to write it to a 16 gig sandisk card. 3. I booted the OS by holding down the power/user button next to the ethernet port and waited until the four lights turned on in the swipe pattern. 4. Modified the uEnv.txt file 5. I rebooted and held the button down again, waiting until the "swipe" pattern occured and 6. After releasing the button, it took ~30-35 seconds to start flashing, indicated by a back and forth light pattern. 7. Once it was completed (blinking lights), 1. I took out the card, 2. unpowered the beaglebone and 3. then powered it back up. 8. Once it powered up, I got the "heart beat" light, some minor disk activity or load (but not like when a full OS boot happens), and then all lights come on solid. Please let me know what you would like me todo next. Currently I am working off of the SD card directly, which makes booting my system a little annoying, but workable for the moment. I have another SD card I can do tests with now too. This board is a rev A6 if that matters.
