Very interesting.  Looks like the "only" way I can do the console install of SXCE in VirtualBox is to:

(1) select the default graphic install, 

(2) wait for it to fail, then 

(3) do the control-c as you indicated to interrupt the regular proceeding and 

(4) continue with the "suninstall" command.

Never could have figured this way.  Thanks a whole bunch!
