Not that the old one was lovable.... BIOS, was a kludgy kludge pasted on

Either way UEFI is what is standing between me and a brand new dual booting
Asus 1215B netbook.

Of tuppence I'd blast away the Windows 7 partition, but my Glorious
Overlady, She Who Must Be Obeyed wants me to keep it.

Sigh! Not having much luck with Oneiric Ocelot amd64... I can install and
run Oneiric trivially, the blinking UEFI boot code merely insists on
booting windows and only windows.

Downloading a daily build of Precise Pangolin now and will give that a try.
