If you're using uefi instead of legacy bios, it should boot with grub, and it shouldn't mess anything up. CAVEAT: There's no uniformity in uefi implementations across manufacturers. If you want to install it, the safest way is if you have another linux on the machine, install this one without a bootloader, and add it to the menu of the linux that handles the boot. Now that I think about it, grub-pc is installed in that image. If you want to install the bootloader, the grub-efi debs are in the root directory. The installer should find them and ask if you want it to install them (in a chroot) for you, which will cause grub to take over the boot, or it will provide you with a fully-prepared chroot terminal where you could install them yourself with dpkg, or you can continue without a bootloader. See /usr/lib/refractainstaller/uefi_install.readme That one is newer than the one in user's home. Oh, and if you want to do a manual chroot for something, there's a script in user's bin that will do the bind mounts for sys proc and dev. fsmithred _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
