I can not seem to get out of EFI so maybe what I am looking to do is not possible.

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 ____________________________________________________________ Can't remember your password?
