Typically one takes the contents of the iso, places that on a partition, |
| 7 |
and then makes it bootable with grub. I'm not sure you can boot the iso |

directly. |

It is not a completely stupid idea. When it is adequately supported it is |
| 16 |
something I intend to use. It is possible (unless I misunderstood |
| 17 |
something) to provide your own keys and sign your own OS partition. |

Anyway, I am kind of surprised people are still having problems with UEFI. |

It's necessary to turn SecureBoot off, but otherwise I just got everything to |

work. |
