You only get an EFI system partition if you do an EFI install. EFI is the new standard for PC system firmware, it's intended to replace the BIOS format; all systems that use EFI firmware currently also support BIOS emulation mode (CSM), and Fedora boot images are capable of being booted in both EFI mode and BIOS mode. Whether you wind up booting in EFI mode or BIOS mode is a function of how your system handles the choice for the type of media you happen to use for the install, they all seem to do it a bit differently. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
