4 years ago For something like this, it would require changes in clr-boot-manager.
Some of this has been discussed for clr-boot-manager. @dorileo are there planned changes or issue we can cross-link to in clr-boot-manager?
Hello,
I'm a Linux medium n00b but wonder why still so many tasks in Linux world are manually while they can be automated, especially as Linux has full access to all hardware.
In my scenario, I have Windows on C:, I wish to install CL on a free 256GB partition on same disk right side of C: and have FreeBSD on a secondary drive. This is not very unusual on a work/developer notebook.
My job is to focus on the business software, and use the best (fast) OS to support my task, My job is not to become an OS superpro. I would love to, but thats not paid.
My request is that all this EFI copy around of kernels and stuff has to be smart and automated. Why not offer customers a clear interface to ask: 1) Do you want Windows to stay at C: at Partition 1 on Disk 1 2) Do you want CL to boot from Partition 2 of Disk 1 and do you want to boot this strange other OS from Disk 2 ? Just some prompts to make the human happy. And fiddle around with the rest automatically. Shuffle around partitions if must, make EFI partitions if must, do whatever as long as it works and makes sense.
I read the CL multiboot instructions and understood them, but sry, this is still not user friendly and with little effort done by the Pros this stuff can be make easy for people who just want muti-boot. Just want to get it done and be happy.
