But, now that I'm here, it's "sort of" grown on me. What helped me, a lot, is a package called Refind. It's available on Debian, through normal Apt-Get, though it's good to, carefully read the Documentation before Installing.

As I said, I had a lot of trouble with UEFI at the beginning and, so had a workaround of setting it up to (by default) boot from an external USB Stick, but boot Linux Partitions on the main Hard Drive.

So I wanted to export it to Debian, but found that the version of qemu was higher than the one on Buster (which wouldn't allow the Import). So I'm on Bullseye. Research the differences between the versions of qemu and you might want Bullseye also. TIA! > > dan > Happy to help. Kenneth Parker
