"Manually Create Partitions" doesn't work. The MD5sum for the ISO was ok
and the burned DVD was verified.

I did not test "Shell" until now and it's to late to search and read a
howto.

When startup finished I push enter > Install > keyboard: German

Continuing doesn't work, or I don't know what to do. FWIW, I'll use MBR
and if possible / only.
