The second challenge is getting a boot loader to work. I cannot find an

to go the EFI route. However, the installer only offers me to install
grub-pc and not grub-efi. Has anyone getting the installer to work with
EFI? Exactly what partitions should I have for this?
If you're only being offered grub-pc, then you've booted already in
BIOS mode. If you'd booted in EFI mode, the installer would only be
offering grub-efi and would set up using GPT partitions by default.
Are you sure? I have to admit that this is the first time I've
encountered EFI (my current laptop is 5 years old), but I see in the
"BIOS" under the "Boot" tab options such as "Add New Boot Option" for
which the context help explicitly mentions EFI. I also do not have an
option (or at least, I cannot find it) to revert to the old way of booting.
PS. No need to Cc: me; I am well known to this thing called mailinglist,
and Cc'ing me confuses my procmail :)
