   Hey Alan!   
      
    AI> Please do.   
      
   The archlinux howto - a very worthwhile read - can be had at;   
      
     https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface   
      
   The commands below are from the perspective of a chrooted nvme disk from a   
   sata boot.  The opposite will also apply to a properly partitioned and   
   formatted sata disk chrooted to from a booted nvme disk.  Having two differing   
   disks is what makes this idea even better.

   I REALLY need to get my grubby act together but the above does work on 3   
   machines here (not the BBS) which is an older machine without a proper m.2   
   socket for nvme disks.   
      
    AI> I just booted AlienBOB's slackware64-15.0-livecd to practice my   
    AI> make-foo a bit on the laptop before I move to the BBS machine.   
      
   Excellent idea.  However I believe he is using syslinux to kick start the live   
   system.  It definetly worked here but I never tested it on the BBS which is a   
   bios based grub.cfg.   
      
    AI> I got penguins (4 of them) there.   
      
   Note the four ascii penguins below.  Same with the laptop and the EuroPoint   
   which are both uefi.
