After this week's problems with unbootable systems after updating (at least fedora, maybe also debian and ubuntu) I'm relieved that we haven't picked up this weeks "fixes for signed grub" and made uefi support the default. I agree that if uefi "just worked" without requiring people to jump into holes would be nice, but for an individual who owns his or her machine, signed booting is not necessarily desirable. ĸen -- Juliet's version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen. -- Unseen Academicals -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
