When trying to install openSUSE Leap 42.1 on i.e. an ASUS EeeBook (model F205T
- a BayTrail platform, Intel Z3735 CPU), you cannot even boot the Leap
installation ISO from an USB device - the device is not on the list of possible
boot devices.

Further investigation shows that the hardware is capable of running 64bit OS,
but the machine comes with 32bit UEFI only.

Further investigation on the net reveals two major pieces of information:

1. There seem to be quite a number of users trying the same thing

2. For Ubuntu, there's "ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-linuxium.iso" which does exactly
this: Boot (Ubuntu) Linux in 64bit mode (granted, it seems to be
unofficial)(http://www.linuxium.com.au/Downhome/latest/creatinganubuntuserveronaz3735fdevice).

I've tried the Ubuntu ISO and could boot into a 64bit Linux on the Eeebook
without any further hassle - plug in the stick, go into boot device selection
during machine startup, select USB device, done. Graphics work, as does many
other things. The kernel included in that ISO is pretty old (3.12.x iirc).

>From what I can tell, this ought to be a question of what EFI-stage files to
include on the USB stick.

What needs to be done to extend the Leap 42.1 installation ISO so that it can
be booted on such (crippled) machines with 32bit UEFI?

Can the standard distribution be enhanced to included the required files, so
that any user can download and use the ISO without further hassle, like
possible with the Ubuntu ISO?
