   Do I call it grub or grub2?   
      
   Now I have a worse problem than I had before. Neither the regular 15.0   
   install usb, nor the live64 usb are recognized by the N150.   
      
   In general I have some UEFI questions and Slackware:   
   If I can get back to a functioning install USB, must I   
   partition a bare drive with the proper UEFI partitions   
   before starting the install, or will the install   
   automatically go to UEFI. During the install, at the time   
   I am asked about lilo, it is already too late to have   
   the first partition be changed back to type EF, or   
   whatever it is supposed to be.   
      
   I spent several hours this morning trying to install   
   slackware on an NVMe drive which later proved to   
   be unrecognizable by the N150.   
      
   Incidentaly, I only rave against systemd because I   
   cannot totally ignore it. That and the whole secure   
   boot are insane.   
      
   Thanks for responding.
