UEFI Boot support
#4
(25-Nov-2018, 07:55 AM)agent_kith Wrote: All my computers that do UEFI works on the Blind Testing ISO. I suspect this is because my UEFI supports emulating the ISO as a CDR. Newer UEFI may be different, and that is when this ISO wouldn't work. Without this hardware I have nothing to go on unfortunately.

Will have to cross that bridge when we come to it.

UEFI vs BIOS is like IPv6 vs IPv4. The newer technologies are so much better, but there really isn't any motivation to move forward despite support from the big boys. Moving to pure IPv6 stack is next to impossible. Transition to UEFI should be easier I think.
It's too bad it's so difficult. Because it won't be long before Snakeoil won't run on any computers. I have been running UEFI boot for about 10 years. It's fairly mature technology now.
