I tested: it works fine, but would not be fit to test distros as in CDROM because it does
not give the choice of the language at start nor the choice between booting to "try" or
booting to "install" and the other choices at boot. Instead it chooses the language and
keyboard according to the system configuration and boots directly to the Desktop.
