Hey,

I made the live usb with this project but my usb is booting into the legacy mode only. Is there any way to make bootable usb for UEFI mode?

So uefi is working with fat32 filesystem. Linux Live Kit add the EFI boot but it's not creating a new partition. I'm using ext4 for my usb, basically it means Linux Live Kit add the EFI boot in my ext4 filesystem. That's why it's not working because it needs fat32.

And I can't use fat32 because of size limitation. So maybe if I make a 2 partition. One with ext4 and second with fat32 and then put that EFI boot in fat32 and ext4 will have linux data. Then maybe it works.

@Tomas-M Can you please give some input for it. That whatever I told will it works and where I'm lacking.
