Ah. I would have done something like "diff -r /efi /boot/efi". Since
you have a Windows installation, there's a lot below that EFI directory.

I'm glad it's working well. My usual process for such a situation is a
bit more complicated and probably safer. I back up a lot of the same
stuff you do. I then restore it to /crc/<hostname>, and compare them
with what the installer has put in place. In particular, a lot of "find
/crc/<hostname> -name "*~" to locate files I have edited in the past. I
then diff those against their new replacements and accept the changes I
want. Tedious, but probably safer, and it gets me thinking about my
customization.
