Comments/Problems:
There are two problems with the keyboard:
I had chosen the german keyboard
(1) During installation, on the screen "Benutzer und Passwörter" I
tried to enter an umlaut (namely Rüdiger). The Umlaut showed as
something else (I think it was <FC>), and could not be removed.
Neither <Backspace> nor the left arrow key were working. I had to go
back one screen and reopen the screen, this time entering my name
without umlauts. Then <backspace> was working again.
(2) The system is running, but those characters that are entered
using <alt> cannot be reached. On a Mac, this includes <|>, <[>, <]
>, <{>, <}>, and <@>. Umlauts are working.
