But don't waste your time - it is as useful as teats on a bull when
it comes to even trying to run as a Live CD.
You don't get the usual GUI menu to select from when it starts up but
get a command line menu (which take a bit of time to work out what it
wants you to type in) and when you do get something to happen you get
error messages,
machine with UEFI. Starts with elilo boot and almost always skips the
first couple of pages and goes straight into installation. However, if I
install from flash drive instead, I get no such trouble. This occurred
with M3 and #358. Haven't bothered burning #369 to CD - just used flash
drive.
