Install Linux on EFI boot/without CD-DVD Rom
Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2012 5:59 am
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to install Linux Mint on ASUS F401U 64bit machine?
The laptop does not have cd/dvd drive and there is no option to boot from USB in UEFI BIOS
Boot configuration has 3 options:
1. UEFI (Windows Boot Manager)
2. PXE ROM for onboard LAN
3. From file system (.efi file required)
The PC currently has windows 8 installed, that I don't want to keep.
As you aware Linux windows installer does not work with EFI.
Thanks in advance.
