Wonderful all works fine: persistence, end of boot time in console, startx to start x11. There is only a problem with some missing icons that do not occur when lightdm is installed.

And I am ok with it. I understand your point of view but I'm a "maniac ecologist" and I like to use the minimum of resources for maximum results, for example vim, mutt and moc do this. Regarding browsers I have not found better than iceweasel under x11 ( it is resource-intensive :( ) and lynx in console suits me perfectly. The opposite example is Knoppix, you need a DVD to burn the iso and over a Giga to put it on a pendrive. Thank you for the time you spent helping me. -- Gerard ___________________________________________ ******************************************* * Created with "mutt 1.5.23" * * under Debian Linux JESSIE version 8.1 * * Registered Linux User #388243 * * https://Linuxcounter.net * *******************************************
