Last few times I've tried it it has.  It just hangs.  Maybe if your
network card isn't connected at all it might go on okay (I haven't
tried that), but if it finds a live network it will attempt to connect
to the repositories and hang.  I googled a workaround for it (start
another console and kill of the offending process then some other
stuff I can't remember) so it is (or was) a known issue.

Cheers,

Jim
