How would the OS be installed initially, since the defaults are for the current location? Wouldn't the install image have to have that built in before install? It seems to me that there would be a default install, then adding the change to the grub default, and then moving the /boot/efi/EFI/fedora to /boot/efi/EFI/unique_name. I'm not sure what would happen if an update came in for the shim package. Would dnf install it in the old default location or the new location? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
