    The FAQ page states: "we provide another option, i.e. alternative Clonezilla live based on Ubuntu Linux. It includes non-free firmware, and also supports uEFI secure boot". From this I understand that only the Ubuntu based "alternative" version supports uEFI secure boot.

    However the Download page states: "If your machine comes with uEFI secure boot enabled, you have to use AMD64 (X86-64) version (either Debian-based or Ubuntu-based)".

    I guess the FAQ page should be updated?

    Hello,
    Question on the FAQ:
    https://drbl.org/fine-print.php?path=./faq/2_System/57_why_ubuntu_based_clonezilla_live.faq#57_why_ubuntu_based_clonezilla_live.faq
    Both versions support secure boot. Are these the PCs that are restored with Clonezilla Lite Server? Because I have the latest version based on Debian and I noticed that a computer with secure boot starts in PXE, it does not find the Clonezilla server (it goes to search in IPV6 and finds nothing). As soon as I disable secure boot in the bios, the computer boots correctly in PXE. Does the Ubuntu version fix this problem. Thanks in advance. Best regards.
