I did clean installs with the alternate iso, and two separate installs produced the same result:

1. After install and first hard drive boot, let Synaptic do updates. Booting immediately afterward left me at a terminal login, no X.

2. After install and first hard drive boot, activate nVidia driver 185. Booting immediately afterward left me at a terminal login, no X.

I have a fairly new motherboard with an nVidia chipset. This means a non-nVidia driver gives me an incorrectly sized, incorrectly positioned desktop. It's possible to do an install, but that's about it.
