Have the Italian LoCo got a testing procedure? (i.e. it boots, it fails
and so on) Also is this burning ISO to CD or could we just throw it onto
a USB stick to test? 

I can test pretty much anything these days (can do 32bit/64bit on
various machines) so am quite happy to help.

I could probably script this to run in my "unlimited off peak" download
period, which would make life very easy.
