Package: debian-installer Version: 20190119 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hello
I recently spent some time working on getting EFI installs going. It took rather a lot of digging to find out how to set up an EFI partition in a partitioning recipe so I thought I would try to make the documentation more accessible. Please consider merging the attached patch. Kind regards Vince
