/boot/efi/boot/bootx64.efi during install by copying kernel image file to |

it and supposedly it was for efibootmng. I think gummiboot has created its |

own gummibootx64.efi. Is that safe to delete */boot/bootx64.efi? Thanks |

They are the same image; do an md5sum of both, you'll see that they have |
| 11 |
the same checksum. |

I believe Boot/BOOTX64.EFI is the default location where the "BIOS" (or |
| 14 |
whatever is called in UEFI systems) looks for an image to boot, |
| 15 |
and gummiboot/gummibootx64.efi is just a copy. I'm not sure, but I would |
| 16 |
not delete it: gummiboot creates both copies of the file. |
