This makes it useful for reading "hybrid ISO" images + burned to USB flash disks. + +- New mvrefind.sh script to move a rEFInd installation between a standard + location (typically EFI/refind) or one of the fallback locations + (EFI/BOOT or EFI/Microsoft/Boot). It can also do more exotic locations. + +- The install.sh script now installs to EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi or + EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi if it's run in BIOS mode. This is + intended to give some chance of producing a bootable installation should + a user accidentally install Linux in EFI mode and then install rEFInd + from that installation. + +- The install.sh script now tries to find an existing rEFInd installation + and upgrade it, even if it's in EFI/BOOT or EFI/Microsoft/Boot rather + than in EFI/refind. + +- New "--yes" option to install.sh to help with unattended or automated + installations (as from an RPM or Debian package). + +0.6.2 (12/30/2012): ------------------- -- The drivers can now be built with the GNU-EFI toolkit as well as with the - TianoCore EDK2.
