UEFI & SecureBoot?
Zigulec:
It happens quite a lot that whatever hardware we buy these days, a Win system is pre-installed in (U)EFI & SecureBoot mode.
Is there a plan how to make eCS UEFI / SecureBoot compliant?

just wait for new version.......
Alex Taylor:
Not for eCS 2.2, but I believe there are some longer-term plans in the works.
Unfortunately it's not simple or easy to implement.

UEFI systems for the coming years you can switch to legacy mode in the EFI BIOS.
You need to switch it to legacy mode to boot.
yes we looking into implementing GPT/UEFI support. We have been working on this for over 2 years.
But before you see anything useable will take some time.
At this current moment the very good German computer magazine C'T recommends that EFI for Linux users is something, if it can be avoided is welcome.
But in the end EFI is here to stay.

For the records:
I just got a new X230t from Lenovo with 8 GB Ram, i7 and so on. There is still the option to disable Secure Boot and UEFI in the BIOS, a least to emulate the "Legacy" BIOS.
While eCS 2.2 latest beta failed installation several times because of complaining about the HDD (where the eCS 2.2 demo while booting does not), it worked quite well once I installed it using the Clone method and DFSEE.
It may be worth a try for those trying to install eCS 2.2 on modern hardware if "usual" installation fails to create a clone of a working system and restore it on the new hardware. This will be shown in Cologne in November as mentioned. This is safe and time saving (takes about 5 to 10 minutes).
This allways worked for me.
