FWIW, google "asus r503u disable uefi" and you'll find how to disable uefi
for ASUS
hardware. It seems it can be done, just that you need the "magic" incantation
to get it
done. :-)
Magic indeed! I tried these tips actually, but it did not seem to make much of a
difference. I guess I will try and get the potions right.
Is there any long-term advantage to install on EFI? I do not have Windoze installed and I
do no want it on the machine.
I seem to know about EFI even less than I do about Windoze.
Best wishes,
Ranjan
