[17:07] <Nivex> damnit. my new laptop has UEFI instead of BIOS
[17:07] <Nivex> I can't get it to boot a Linux installer for love nor money
[17:14] <Tracy_P> So no boot manager built in that you can bring up?
[17:15] <Nivex> I get the F12 to boot from other device, select my USB key and nothing happens
[17:15] <Tracy_P> have you tried a different USB key? I have one that works on one machine, but not another. Yet another that worked on both.
[17:16] <Nivex> Sadly I don't have one handy
[17:18] <Tracy_P> burn a cd?
[17:19] <Tracy_P> Or you run the distro off the key?
[17:20] <Nivex> new laptop has no CD drive
[17:28] <Tracy_P> I have a netbook like that. I borrowed a USB CD drive to install software to it once.
[17:29] <Nivex> ah, I hadn't realize usb-creator didn't wipe your USB stick anymore. I snagged another USB stick and am prepping it now
[17:30] <Tracy_P> it's an option isn't it?
[17:32] <Nivex> used to be it would wipe it. is optional now, yes
[17:35] <Nivex> we have bootage!
[17:35]  * Nivex crosses fingers on install
[17:39] <akgraner> Nivex, yay!
