Hi everyone. About Debian installer and UEFI / Windoze 8 problems.
(In a nutshell) Links or resources for problems with machines that come with Windoze 8/8.1 and are hard to install Debian 7.4
I
have no problems because I very carefully select my hardware and I
always demand computers without OS preinstalled. However, I try (over
several forums and groups) to help new users to install Debian on their
own machines. But now, I believe my knowledge is rusty when they tell me
about new machines with UEFI / Secure boot and Windoze 8 preinstalled.
So, I want to know:
1-If it is possible to bypass this problems with just the installer
2-If
Bios access and modification are required, exactly which options should
be modified to install Debian 7.4 over the entire hard drive or dual
boot with current OS
3-Some
tutorials I've seen, mention some stuff about THE NEED to go inside
Windoze 8 and change some configuration. (Which really wonders me, is
really there no chance to keep things between the user, the installer
and the Bios?)
Thanks a lot for any advice
