[arch-general] LXDE on boot

[John Dey]

I installed the arch distribution some time ago.  I'm not sure of where I got the dist file from.  

My guess is Libreoffice was not installed and that may be why it wouldn't open when I clicked the Libreoffice icon.  Last night I downloaded NOOBS and install AL.  I will configure and install lxde and report any problems I have--Hopefully I'll have none.  Thanks for your consideration and comment.
