It does not work.

The only included gfx drivers are the AGA drivers (no Cyber/Picasso/
anything else). The amitcp and as225 support files are also
seemingly missing... When I tell the installer to use AGA gfx and
NO SUPPORT for AmiTCP or AS225, it locks my system.  It may be
trying to open a screen and I am not seeing it.  This would
not be a problem if the CyberGraphX drivers were included.
This is obviously an oversight b/c these drivers are mentioned
in the docs and the installer.
