Hmmm agree with the grub2 thing. Seems overly complicated just to get
an OS running. But maybe there are good reasons for it. I'm no expert
understanding boot loaders though.
UEFI apps sounds interesting. I'll have a look into it. But I dual boot
with Windows so maybe forced to use grub2 or such like.
Does syslinux work with uefi/gpt?
