Kali Linux apparently has an EFI capable version of Live Build based on the current 2015 version. http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/live-build/ live-build_20151215kali3_all.deb <http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/live-build/live-build_20151215kali3_all.deb> My intent was to try it out this weekend but my plans have changed due to the house I live in being on the market. I won't be able to get to it until Tuesday at the earliest now.
