F21 already makes some things about UEFI-ish installs rather better: the combination of the second and third changes described at https://www.happyassassin.net/2014/01/29/coming-in-fedora-21-more-installer-partitioning-improvements/ should help quite a bit in some cases. Yesterday I was looking at adding a little 'UEFI' indicator to the boot menu when you boot a live / install medium in UEFI mode, but amazingly enough, AFAICT this *isn't actually possible* in grub without a horrible hack like sticking it in the boot menu entry itself (I was thinking more a little 'UEFI' at the bottom right of the screen). Apparently you can't just stick text into the grub screen somewhere, with console grub. Sigh. I also have a plan to test UEFI install of Fedora alongside UEFI install of Windows and see once and for all if the Fedora UEFI grub2 can boot a UEFI Windows install, and also see if we can suppress the Fedora UEFI grub2 config from including an entry for a *BIOS* install of Windows, as mjg59 tells me you can't cross the streams like that (a UEFI bootloader can't boot a BIOS native OS install, so we probably shouldn't let you try if we can avoid it). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
