Installed mate-tweak but doesn't work

I didn't spend a lot of time on mini builds, but here's what I found.

Trying to understand the Mate Core Packs

I have a core install running, but I’m wondering if this is truly a minimal install. I first tried installing xorg, marco and mate-desktop to a console only install. This did not work, but if I add mate-desktop-environment-core I then have a working desktop. Which is much less than a standard desktop with about 1000 installed packages and taking up 2 gig of HDD space. So the question; is this the minimal install or will another mix yield less.

Any reason for not using 16o4? 14o4 was a transition time when Mate had not yet become Ubuntu Mate.
