+&gt;<i> Hi there,
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I have a question here in the german forums from ixsoft - a company
+</I>&gt;<i> selling linux based operating systems and much open source and linux
+</I>&gt;<i> related stuff.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Do we have support for EFI/GPT in Mga3? Bernd Hentig from ixsoft says
+</I>&gt;<i> something about GPT partitions and EFI (without the secure boot stuff).
+</I>&gt;<i> I have not looked into that topic at all until now and don't know
+</I>&gt;<i> anything about it.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+Well, technically we already support both, but not OOB with the installer.
+
+If you create gpt partitions with parted, the installer will happily
+install mga on them, and it will boot and run correctly.
+
+The efi part can also be managed, but you have some manual work
+to get it to boot properly.
+
+I'm working on making mga3 beta3 live images capable of booting in
+efi mode, and then if it works ok, I'll extend it to normal install
+isos, and then we'll have to see what adaptions need to be done
+in the installer to properly install efi bootloader and we'll be done.
+
+&gt;<i> Can anyone help me?
+</I>&gt;<i> Perhaps it would be good for someone with knowledge about that topic to
+</I>&gt;<i> contact Bernd himself.
+</I>&gt;<i> ixsoft is a major player in that field in Germany...
+</I>
+Well, I do intend to make sure mga3 will boot &amp; install on uefi hw.
+
+(as for secure boot, that I wont ever support)
