Glad you have it sorted.

The thing that surprised me was seeing an X console when I had
specifically selected an installation that looked to be a text-only
installation.

It's actually something that someone mentioned in the forums, and I had a
spare system to try it out on. I'll probably write up a bug on it if
there isn't one already, just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing
something or doing something wrong. :-)
