No, sorry, they don't work out of the box yet.

It does not "make sense" in the strict meaning of the term, ie I wouldn't expect it to crash because of that, but anyway it may be the reason it crashed. That is either a bug or it is a side effect. After all we can't guarantee anything before running native-install (well, we can only guarantee that native-install will run succesfully). Other things that don't work before running native install are pipes, all programs that use device files, network, etc etc. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
