So far I don't see a reason to do this. oem,vmx and the install-iso's can use grub2 by configuration so they support EFI now when grub2-efi is installed closing -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
