But what if there are multiple files in there which are potentially bootable? I was expecting some built-in UEFI shell in my newest computer, so that I can handle such cases myself, or something like that. However, I found no signs of such a shell (and when I read about it, it generally seems to be assumed that it is indeed built-in). Also, even if I would find one as a file (I didn't find ut yet) and put it in my EFI partition, I'm not sure how to start it, since the system as shown no signs that it offers boot opptions more detailed than "boot from a disk". -Olaf. -- ___ "Buying carbon credits is a bit like a serial killer paying someone else to \X/ have kids to make his activity cost neutral." -The BOFH falu.nl@rhialto
