Only after the manual boot intervention with the live system kernel from the DVD and a loopback thingy I was able to see a working OS with a functional & fashionable login screen. > > As per > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1464831/comments/5 > this is not the case.

They want to make me pay 15,- € for 500 MB by now and last time I tried I wanted to have a hourly salary 120,- €. I'm sorry but right now I'm glad to have working system with automatic boot. I don't think my results would be to trustworthy anyway w/o any f2f contact.
