This is my first UEFI install, so please pardon the questions. 1) Partitioning questions: The standard layout example in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#What_is_the_BIOS_boot_partition.3F says... > The BIOS boot partition is needed when a GPT partition layout is used > with GRUB2 in BIOS/Legacy mode. It is not required when booting in > EFI/UEFI mode.
The standard layout example is... Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1.00MiB 3.00MiB 2.00MiB grub bios_grub 2 3.00MiB 131MiB 128MiB boot boot 3 131MiB 643MiB 512MiB swap 4 643MiB 20479MiB 19836MiB rootfs Given that my machine is incapable of booting in BIOS/Legacy mode, I assume that the 2-megabyte partition is unnecessary, grub or no grub. Also, given bloat over time, is 128 megabytes still sufficient for the boot partition today? I plan to keep 2 kernels around at all times, "Production" and "Experimental". -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
