This bugged me, so I blew away a separate Bullseye Minimal vm, so I could
try that Testing version of netinst again.

I   *did*   make a User error. I somehow failed to get packages from the
Network the first try.  Now, I am happily installing Bookworm on a second,
Virtual Machine.  I am refreshing my memory of what lxde will look like.

Careful what options you choose.
