Wonderful all works fine: persistence, end of boot time in console,
startx to start x11. There is only a problem with some missing icons
that do not occur when lightdm is installed. For my personal use, it
does not matter.

I understand your point of view but I'm a "maniac ecologist" and I like to
use the minimum of resources for maximum results, for example vim, mutt
and moc do this.
Regarding browsers I have not found better than iceweasel under x11
( it is resource-intensive :( ) and lynx in console suits me perfectly.
The opposite example is Knoppix, you need a DVD to burn the iso and
over a Giga to put it on a pendrive.
Thank you for the time you spent helping me.
