- Download rEFInd (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/getting.html) as a "Binary zip file" and decompress it.
- Copy the
refindDirectory that is inside to/boot/efi/EFI/refind/. - Copy the
refind.conffrom this repository to that same directory. - Enable it with
efibootmgror through your Computers Setup Utility. - Install elementary OS without Grub by Booting to the live Session and using
ubiquity -b - Finish installing and restart.
Elementary should now start through refind, if not this guide is incomplete.
It should still show ugly boot messages though, for that we have 2 more things to do:
- Copy the
refind_linux.confto your Installations/boot/directory, this will make everything load nice and graphically. - Copy the
.VolumeIcon.pngin this repository to your filesystem root:/
