+It seems to work ok in my netbook, just two minor problems:
+
+- in install:
+    7/28: systemd               #############################################
+    /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.bM0Lmo: line 5: /usr/bin/systemctl: No such file or directory
+   in post-install, systemctl is already moved to /bin
+
+- keyboard layout under Gnome got reset to English (from Spanish). Changed manually under
+   system settings and fine again.
+
+If I find anything more, I'll tell here...
