If you have the netinst.iso or the cd-bin1.iso, you can install a
minimal system without a further internet connection. Then, once you
have things set up minimally, you can set up networking and then do any
security updates and install whatever packages you have.
The install CD will be a good check for the keyboard. If it works, it
will work for the installer. If not, no.
I understand that you have CAM to run the Sherline, but what do you use
for CAD? The last time I did CAD, I was using AutoCAD 11 on DOS.
