Well, it's working, but I'll erase it again and play a little to get even more errors. So I can try to find the "root cause". But now there's one more challenge: Installation of most of these OS images require an *ETH*-based network connection. But currently I have only WLAN for my machines in that flat. In most cases this is sufficient, but Raspi cannot do the base install via WiFi. -- Maybe, I could use one of my boxes to do some kind of IP- forwarding, but that's not this trivial. Any idea?
