I always enjoy these UEFI threads. Not. EfI has been a
replacement-in-progress for the old BIOS for a long time.
U(universal)EFI has been around a while as an upgrade for EFI. Someday,
perhaps soon, BIOS will die.
Which means? If Linux can not play nice with UEFI then Linux will die
with BIOS.
Er. What's your point? This whole thread started from a rather extensive
guide to installing Fedora on UEFI which I wrote. We're now discussing
rather pie-in-the-sky stuff that doesn't have much to do with what you
posted.
