In fact, that's the first thing I turned off with my new machine. What I like is not being limited to four primary partitions. The trick for grub users is to get it to "look across" the partitions without having to have a "signed" grub.efi file. And as soon as I get my LFS system to the point I want to reach, I'm going to do another build and see if I can make that happen. What else I learned was that UEFI is a manufacturer thing, but secure boot is the innovation (?) of the "M-word." Go figure. Of course, if your "rig" is old, this is not relevant. But as my niece tells me, "Old is only a number." :) :) Dan |
And secondly I'm too lazy to learn it
since for the servers that I use 4 primary partitions is the most
I'm going to use and the other gizmos and gadgets that EFI has are
also overkill. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
