<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hello all,<br>
<br>
I just discovered ALE, so am stoked about meeting fellow tux-heads
in person rather than just on forums -- and learning about
Duplicity to boot! <br>
<br>
I've been Ubuntu, then Mint since Vista ticked me off, & never
went back. Now I'm up against a new nemesis on a new laptop -
EFI. I'm struggling with my Mint16 install, now a week without a
running installation (just live USB booting) despite extensive
forums searches on my problems. <br>
<br>
I've disabled fast boot & secure boot, installation goes
without a hitch, but I get nothing but error messages when I pull
the USB and try to boot from disk. Tried fstab changes with no
joy. Tried boot-repair, too.<br>
<br>

face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">If I bring my laptop on
Thursday, might I trouble someone to look at what's happening
(not!) at boot?</font><br>
<br>
I cringe at being that guy that shows up for the first time and
asks for help, but that's the timing that a motherboard death has
forced on me.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much,<br>
<br>
Greg <br>
