For some, strange reason, the Install "thinks" that the "ancient" BIOS is "UEFI Friendly", and then I end up in a situation where I'm thrown into the GRUB Command Line without ability to, even manually get the Linux System to boot. Background: One of my "volunteer activities" is to "Rehabilitate" really old Hardware, to keep it off our Landfills, and to have it available to people with Extremely Low finances. I was part of an organization in Seattle, doing this, but I am not finding others, at least so far, here in North Carolina. Thanks so far, for all the Responses. Kenneth Parker
