I could start from scratch. But I need to install something that gives me a GUI 
login. I started with the Ubuntu server install. This got me a text login only. 
I then did 

        apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
        apt-get install wmaker

and chose Window Maker before logging in. I could remove ubuntu-desktop from 
the system but I guess this gets me back to a text login!?

I did

        cd 
        pico .profile

and added the following line.

. /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

Yes! :-(
