Did you read

"Known Issues

    The installation script has a bug that prevent the new system from
starting the desktop. The system will boot into a command-line
environment. It should be possible to install the system manually however."

I've released a better script, so I'll upload the new ISO, but please
note that it still requires more testing. However, in the VM I tried
looks usable now. *Always* read the "known issues" before using this
beta ISOs.
