   	Unless it is designed for a (U)EFI system it may break the (U)EFI   
   system if you install it there with other (U)EFI compatible   
   systems.  For example I have PCLOS KDE 2016.03 installed on my   
   Pavilion booting from the Grub2 menu installed by Mageia 5.   
      
   	If I try to install a non-EFI conscious system i.e.   
   a system designed to work with the MBR function it will break   
   my installation.  I want to install Full Monty just to   
   learn about it and maybe break the Full Monty restrictions   
   because what I really want is a full KDE system with all   
   the tools installed but without that over-styled 6   
   screens and open drawers icons all over the screen.   
      
   	I am just saying by the way that all the extra   
   graphic stuff is not to my taste.  I like to work from a few   
   menus and icons on task bar style panels.  So the 2016.03   
   UEFI version of Full Monty will not boot to a login on   
   my Pavilion but the old version from 2014.12 will boot   
   right up to a GUI login.   
      
   	I hand carried the DVD I had burned for the Full   
   Monty version over to the friend house where for Friend   
   I had managed to install Full Monty 2014.12 on his   
   Dell E6410 Latitude and the new Full Monty booted up   
   fine on his box.  We had kept the Dell install updated   
   so I left him the new DVD so that if a disaster happens   
   he or I can re-install with less updating to do in the   
   future.  The Dell was originally a Window 7 machine   
   but the former owner gave it to Friend when it broke.   
   	It has an EFI directory.
