I think that you will most certainly need to separate installation and |
| 10 |
configuration (e.g., with a "shim-install" script or similar), because |
| 11 |
configuration depends on the environment. For instance, with removable |
| 12 |
media you will need to: |
| 13 |
1. Drop shim.efi and MokManager.efi into [/boot/]EFI/BOOT. |
| 14 |
2. Rename BOOTx64.EFI to grubx64.efi, and then rename shim.efi to BOOTx64.EFI. |
