   a second one. In a Linux only environment then, there might   
   be some related operations the MOKUTIL is doing on a reboot.   
   It may be trying to install the Microsoft material as the "base coat"   
   for the shim. And some aspect of the signed shim that rests on top   
   is the rest of it.   
      
   I wasn't attempting to understand all of it, when I did mine. I just   
   wanted to see if I could get something/anything to work. and based   
   on the PCR "register number", I can't really tell how many   
   resources in my fTPM are left. Only one machine has a real TPM here,   
   the others have the firmware fakery in its place. And the fTPM has   
   PCR registers like a real TPM has.   
      
   What I was doing, is sort of a "fire drill". seeing if I could   
   get out, in the event of a fire... It seemed to be working, but   
   I could never be sure, exactly how many of the distros were moving   
   in the same direction I was moving. There is never any overview   
   indicating you could be doing a better job of it.
