Re: UEFI BIOS

 

Hi Paul,
Thanks!
I am not entirely sure if the CD will boot correctly with EFI, I have no
idea, actually...
I have a Macbook Pro that uses EFI, but it is a special case.  It is an
old Macbook (I get alot of old broken computers) and requires special
steps to make it boot even from a CD.  I have been unable to boot 14.10
from their generic amd64 or i386 images... I needed to install trusty
using the +mac image, and upgrade manually.

So.... that said, I am not sure if many EFI computers can boot the CD...
I suppose normal EFI should work, but again... I do not entirely know. 
Does anyone have one to test this on?  I will test booting from an older
ToriOS cd I burned at some point.. or perhaps a newer one when I get a
chance to make a newer image.

The current newer image is in flux, and is an unacceptable size (over
700mb), so it will be a bit before I get everything correct
