Not really. It asked me if I wanted to select the keyboard-map from
a list, which was never displayed. It also complained that a package
'kdb' was missing, and I could not find it on the CD, before the
machine was crashing again. For the moment I give up, as I do not
have much time. But if you need specific tests, I would be happy to
assist...
