Re: [Salix-main] New tool: GUEFI

[Richard L. <ric...@gm...>]

Thanks George, it's a great tool that I think the greater Linux community will also find useful. I have tested it extensively on bare metal, including  editing and changing my Win 10 boot menu item. I believe that you have addressed all the bugs that I found. 
I'm on an extended weekend vacation so I when I get home I will install the package then.
