- <li>I've received queries about rEFInd's ability to work with Apple's
- whole-disk encryption scheme that's new with OS X 10.7.
- Unfortunately, I lack the hardware to test this, but my
- understanding is that it will work correctly <i>if</i> rEFInd is
- installed in the ESP rather than on the Mac OS X root partition.

<li>I'd like to find a way to enable users to enter customizations for
boot options and then save them to the <tt>refind.conf</tt> file.
One possible way to implement this would be to have manual boot
actions would enable use of rEFInd on tablet computers that lack
complete keyboards.</li>

<li>GRUB provides a configuration-file command called <tt>outb</tt>
that enables manipulating hardware registers. Something similar,
via the <tt>mm</tt> command, can be done in the EFI shell. I'd like
loader settings—say, to disable one specific boot loader or
change its icon.</li>

- written in a cross-platform GUI toolkit, so that a single code base
- can be used on any of the major OSes.</li>

- <li>When updating a system with Secure Boot via an RPM or Debian
- package, the RPM installation script can detect rEFInd's existing
- shim or PreLoader program and pass options to <tt>install.sh</tt>
- to try to copy these programs over themselves. This results in a
- message that the copy was over the same file and an error message
- that there were problems with the installation, although this isn't
- really the case.</li>

<li>rEFInd's support for network booting is primitive and relies on the
external iPXE package. In my own testing, iPXE retrieves the
BIOS-mode boot loader from some servers that offer both, which
