Subject: Re: UEFI install
Gah, yet another person using unetbootin. It's responsible for a lot
of problem reports we're seeing these days. It's totally unnecessary
unetbootin will not start the installer in the right way, and AFAIK
won't do the right things with UEFI either.
Well, I have to disagree with you.
I have been using Unetbootin for the past two years to "burn" Linux
distros such as Debian (Squeeze and Wheezy), Ubuntu (from versions 12
to 13) and Linux Mint on to a USB flash/thumb drive and then using it
to install on to my hard disk drive without even a single problem.
I've got 2 laptops I've recently installed with Debian 7.4 using a UEFI
from a bootable USB. I found unetbootin was useless though I'd used it
before in the past to make boot USB. In this instance I simply 'cp
debian-7.4.iso /dev/sdX' where /dev/sdX was my USB drive. Seemed odd
just doing a cp but it actually worked flawlessly and was what I found
the release notes recommended. In the case of one of my laptops I then
had to immediately upgrade to Jessie to get certain hardware working
given the new hardware devices it had.
