Fedora 30 -- install from XFCE spin

I don't like Gnome, and would be happy if I never had to deal with it. The stock Fedora install will give you Gnome, but allow you to switch to Xfce on a user by user basis when the user logs in. I don't want any of that. I just want XFCE. We will see how this works out.

Fedora Spins
Fedora XFCE Spin

The spin downloads as a 1.5G ISO image -- Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-30-1.2.iso. I follow the instructions to verify the image, and get:

sha256sum -c *CHECK*
Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-30-1.2.iso: OK

This was placed on a USB "thumb drive" via:

dd if=Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-30-1.2.iso of=/dev/sdg bs=16M
