Hi,

i hate to put in question the benefit of my proposal, but:

See

  "cdrom: Installation media changes after booting it"

Two occasions were shown in this bug where the EFI system partition of
a Debian installation ISO on USB stick changed. One was caused by a
Microsoft operating system, writing a file named WPSettings.dat. But the
other was from Lenovo firmware writing /efi/Lenovo/BIOS/SelfHealing.fd .

One may doubt that the success of these operations is desirable at all.
The ISO was also tested with a not-anymore-writable DVD. In that case the
Lenovo firmware did not raise protest over the fact that it was not
possible to write to the EFI partition.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
