I installed 3 other distros successfully (Lubuntu, LMDE and Devuan) and Grub even gives me a menu I boot up. It's Legacy boot and an MBR formatted disk. However, none would install and boot with UEFI. So I think Cavy is right, the fact that I can't install any distro to boot with UEFI is probably some quirk with my ThinkCentre computer.

I have additional information. When I installed Lubuntu using the same procedure as above, it also was not able to boot from hard disk. (Lubuntu uses the very same installer program.) So I changed the BIOS to Legacy boot and reinstalled Lubuntu and now it boots from hard disk.. The problem is that if I try to install Peppermint when the boot mode is set to Legacy, the installation does not finish and reports that it could not access a Debian repository.

please see next post

I tried installing the Devuan version several times on a Lenovo ThinkCentre 64-bit computer (inix file follows). When I boot from the hard disk I get a "No operating system found" message. The BIOS is set to UEFI and Fast Boot is OFF. I wiped the hard disk with Gparted, ran the command "efibootmgr -v" (as suggested in another post) and let the installer use the whole disk with EFI/GPT formatting. After installation, GParted reports the disk is set up like this: 2MB unallocated /dev/sda1 fat 300MB...

I too am interested in doing some research on Freecell, and have a few hundred saved games in PSO format to read in. Have you made any progress on decpheing the file format, Miguel?
