   Alien Bob's LiveSlak is reputed to be installable on secure-boot-only   
   systems: https://alien.slackbook.org/blog/tag/secureboot/ .  I have my   
   own installation boot sticks which will also boot up under secure boot   
   conditions in a similar way.   
      
   The way they work is that the sticks contain kernel images signed by me   
   (or Alien Bob), fedora's shim signed by Microsoft, and MokManager   
   signed by fedora (which is recognised by the Microsoft-signed shim).   
   The first time you boot on the stick, MokManager will come up and invite   
   you to enter your relevant kernel key (mine or Alien Bob's) and then you   
   can reboot on the stick and should be able to start installation.   
      
   The main requirement is that your computer should come with Microsoft's   
   key for third party EFI applications pre-installed and should permit   
   booting from a USB stick.  I think it is the case that all current   
   windows computers do so, but who knows.   
      
   For some reason I didn't experience the difficulties moving from   
   grub-2.06 to grub-2.12 that Alien Bob did - I don't know why.  But if   
   the worst comes to the worst you can stick with grub-2.06.
