[olug] Announcing Fedora 13 (fwd)

[Roger Hubbard]

the Fedora 13 install guide really doesn't say that EFI is used/enabled for all installs.

I didn't answer your question...

==========================
F.2.1. The BIOS
When an x86 computer is booted, the processor looks at the end of system memory for the Basic
Input/Output System or BIOS program and runs it. The BIOS controls not only the first step of the boot
process, but also provides the lowest level interface to peripheral devices. For this reason it is written
into read-only, permanent memory and is always available for use.

Other platforms use different programs to perform low-level tasks roughly equivalent to those of
the BIOS on an x86 system. For instance, Itanium-based computers use the Extensible Firmware
Interface (EFI) Shell.
=====================================
