   Already tried that...there's a scanner attached via usb and an 
external backup drive...but it gets mounted during the boot and
that happens very quickly. The bizarre thing is I have Debian Jessie
on another partition..almost the identical setup and lightdm comes up 
within a few seconds after boot. And if you've been following along, I 
installed lxdm on Poma's suggestion and it comes up instantly..but I 
don't like the interface. I have even tried lightdm and it's greeter 
from fedora 20...with no change. There is something strange going on.
