Looking at the i3 desktop kickstart file, I tried using lightdm (just to see 
how I fare):

 ....
 %post
 systemctl enable lightdm

 # create /etc/sysconfig/desktop (needed for installation)

 cat > /etc/sysconfig/desktop <<EOF
 PREFERRED=/usr/bin/openbox-session
 DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/lightdm
 EOF
 ....
 %end

However my LiveCD stops wtih saying: Failed to start lightdm.service. I am not 
sure if there are other errors too, but is there something else I should have 
done above beyond enabling lightdm above?

Thanks,
Ranjan
