From my experience, I haven't used anything but UEFI/GPT in any device that had an UEFI. There are some fringe cases like 32bit UEFIs or apparently that early development version OP had here, but otherwise it's so much better than BIOS/MBR, I'd never go back.
Fairy 'nuff but our experiences are obviously different.

Yep. Good reminder to both of us, isn't it? :)

I just wanted to drop a line in and thank everyone again for the education.

I ended up installing Cindy on a test system today, and the GPT/UEFI/EFI stuff all went perfectly well - due to your help, and my resulting new understanding.

Thanks again for sticking with me through this process.
