<div align="left"><font face="Liberation Sans"><span style=" font-size:12pt">Thanks. I do user VirtualBox to do testing on the images since it is faster
than having to burn an actual Cd. Will have to look at the EFI options. </span></font></div>

thanks for answer.<br />
<br />
One hint: VirtualBox has EFI option. Its a virtual machine but it might be a good substitute for
testing.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

<span style=" font-size:12pt">The current version of g4l is using syslinux 5.10, which as I understand
is for BIOS boot only. The 6.x version has a separate bios and efi
directories, but there are still issues with 6.x. The current 6.03 is up to
pre18, but even after it is released, I'll have to see if it requires making
different iso images with different versions of the files, or if there is a
process to combine them on a single iso. I currently don't have any
machines running with efi. So don't have any direct experience in using
it.</span></font></div>

<span style=" font-size:12pt">If anyone knows of some place that has details on adding the support to
the boot process. The iso does work with syslinux, and the kernel and
ramdisk can also work with grub4dos and directly from grub.</span></font></div>
