I know very little about Plop Bootloader. What I recall is that it can be installed to the hard drive or to external media. In this case, it was on the hard drive. As for what a modern UEFI-only computer will do, you may as well examine entrails to get that answer. If you want to get an idea of the range of possibilities, read this - http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/ Some will let you put a bootloader in the MBR without screwing things up, so it may be possible. Maybe I'll get brave and try it on the one uefi machine I have. I did try rEFInd on a usb stick, and it worked great. My 256MB thumb drive is now a permanent home for that. Just in case. -fsmithred _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
