I am trying to build a custom image using live-build. My basic configuration is working well, and I able to obtain a functional .iso image that runs well at least in virtualbox. But I'm stuck on one point. I would like to use grub-efi-amd64 instead of grub-pc,
but am unable to do so. I have tried the following:
- Putting grub-efi-amd64 on a .list.chroot file in package-lists.
- Downloading the latest .deb and putting it in packages.chroot.
- Using late_command in preed.cfg to in-target install grub-efi-amd64.
However, none of these have worked - in the installed image it's always grub-pc that gets installed. So, I have two questions:
- How exactly does one build an image with grub-efi-amd64 instead of grub-pc?
- I am a little confused about including grub-pc as a default - does this mean that even for computer with UEFI (I use a windows dual boot), grub-pc would be fine, and I don't have to replace that with grub-efi-amd64. If so, what exactly is the purpose of
grub-efi-amd64?
Thanks.
