F2 was for the language settings. I went to Failsafe mode, which one
of the boot commands identified as runlevel 3. logged in at prompt and
used startx. A few lines of text came up and the screen attempted to
load the gui, even saw a flicker of color, but otherwise stayed a
black screen. No error messages...

On boot screen use Other Options (press F2) and enter 3 and press Enter to
boot into runlevel 3, which is text mode with network.

If computer gives you text mode login prompt enter user name, press Enter and
than user password.
When you see prompt type
 startx
it will probably fail again, but it will leave some error message on the
screen.
