Installing the Debian desktop system and at least one of the desktop options during the initial installation will get you into the desktop from first boot. Have a look here for some ideas with apt. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Typical_usage_example sudo apt-get install mate . will ...

sudo apt-get install mate .
will install mate

@caseycullen Best option to enable the hardware acceleration and still have the option to boot with a Radeon SI card if needed is to rename /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so.bak . also /etc/X11/xorg.conf should be removed or renamed to /etc/X11/xorg.conf....

Installation went smoothly.
So only extra thing required is to just press the enter key when the request for a mirror comes up instead of trying to enter a mirror.

Just press the "enter" key when the installer asks for a mirror .
It will take the correct mirror for the preseed file .
Simple as that

Have added the info above under the download links in bold type .

I am about to start a test installation so will report back on what happens .

The correct mirror ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports is auto selected by the preseed script in the X5000 ramdisk .
So it should not mater if you do a base install or a full install .

@caseycullen

I will try to do a fresh install as a test also .
I was just able to update my current installation .

As far as I remember I never had to edit the repositories.

@caseycullen

The culprit was my ramdisk.
Have updated and uploaded updated version 5.
Link in the first post in this thread as usual.
So the new ramdisk works with the latest iso .

@caseycullen

Here you go.
If it tries to install grub and fails then just navigate to the menu option to continue without a boot loader and it should complete the installation ok .
