So I tried again last night and this time it worked. The only thing I can
come up with would be that I had used the usb stick to reinstall my other
manjaro system using the XFCE image so I had to re-download the Cinnamon
release and after booting it up and clicking on Calamares it worked right
away. Which to me would point to maybe a bad download.

Wish I had the old download to see what the checksum was on the image.
