IIRC, /boot/efi/* is created by the initial anaconda install sequence and is in place in case you use UEFI at some point in the future. Since it's only about 15MB in size, it's pretty innocuous and I wouldn't worry about it. Ubuntu's install mechanism isn't the same and it probably doesn't create that directory unless it notices you are in UEFI boot mode at the time of install. Which is better? I sorta like Fedora...it's there in case you need it and it really doesn't take up much space. Your browser cache probably sucks up more disk than /boot/efi does. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Have you noticed that "human readable" configuration file - - directives are beginning to resemble COBOL code? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
