Hello
I want to get a "yes" or "no" about pushing my EFI
patch [#1] in archiso
that enables EFI CD-ROM booting via "El Torito" method. At least
from
Thomas or Dieter, since I did not get feedback from other people than
Keshav P R (Thanks you).
Just for remember this patch just increses the size of all x86_64 isos
in 20MiB.
[#1]
https://github.com/djgera/archiso/commit/e3531ebd91b458c02dbfc5a2225a8c5397ce17e9
Thanks.
Does it also increase size of the dual image?
the dual image is currently 732MB, the others are<410MB
Yes as said before all thing where is x86_64 supported. So core-dual.iso and
netinstall-dual.iso will be 20MiB increased.
Optionally we can include this feature only on core-x86_64 and
netinstall-x86_64, cutting EFI support from both dual.iso.
Anyway long time ago, we talk about iso sizes, and conclusion was: do not care
anymore about CD-ROM, at least for dual ISOs.
It seems like a useful feature, but I don't really know what I'm talking
about. I know very little about archiso and EFI.
I mostly care about AIF and being able to install systems (including using EFI),
and it seems that to be able to do an EFI installation
(which needs efibootmgr), the system needs to be booted with EFI (otherwise the
efi vars won't be set), that's all I know about this.
efibootmgr will be included if this is added.
Dieter
OK, I will merge this in few hours.
