There might be wiki pages that explain all this, but wiki pages can be
hard to find and often get lost and unmaintained, so I wrote a guide
instead. It doesn't explain the individual files at the moment
(although there is some copy in the sources for it) because it's
information that you don't really need to get the system going, and I
didn't want to overwhelm new users. I'll look at adding the info in an
appropriate section.
Until then, grubx64.efi is the actual grub second stage binary,
MokManager.efi is for signature management, shim is the part that is
signed and allows SecureBoot to work.
Thanks a lot for help and info!
One more thing i would like to clarify (as i am new to EFI stuff):
is it possible to have a boot media with live isos (like an usb stick) for both
EFI and non-EFI systems? (i was wondering if just adding the /boot/efi part from
a system with a corresponding grub.conf would be enough to being bootable by both
legacy and UEFI only systems)
Thank you!
