Hello! I'm here to report that I just created a usb drive using GRUB2 and EFI using information on this page: https://github.com/lopaka/instructions/blob/master/ubuntu-14.10-install-asus-x205ta.md
I will probably create a tutorial about this, with only needed and simplified steps... 2015-01-07 15:47 GMT-02:00 Nio Wiklund <[email protected]>: > Thanks Andre, > > Best regards > Nio > > Den 2015-01-07 13:09, Andre Rodovalho skrev: > > Nio, I forgot to mention about 32-bit and 64-bit hardware.
