== Booting the installation media == | |||
{{expansion|Troubleshooting steps, and details are lacking.}} | |||
Since the installation media is hybrid, it will boot both in legacy bios mode and UEFI mode. | |||
Whatever mode is used to boot the installation media, your motherboard or computer's configuration may need to be changed to allow booting from a Optical Disk Drive (for CD/DVD) or an external USB drive. | |||
=== Legacy bios boot === | |||
This is the only boot possible on machines lacking EFI/UEFI. | |||
=== UEFI boot === | |||
The EFI bootloader of the installation media is not signed and is not using a signed shim to boot. This means that Secure Boot will need to be disabled to boot. | |||
