Can I use hard-drive instead of USB? UEFI, too?

Postby jemenake » May 29th, 2013, 12:16 am

Because SARDU lets me pack so many utilities into a single USB (thereby shrinking my many USB drives down just 1), I thought... why not see if I can get rid of the *1*, too.

I'd love to be able to make a small partition on my hard drive and use *that* as a Sardu boot volume.

So, has anybody tried that? Does it work? Are there special things I need to do in order to keep from messing up my other partitions on the disk?

Lastly, the computers I want to do this on use UEFI, so they use GPT partitioning and have their bootloaders in an EFI system partition. Has anybody gotten Sardu working with this kind of system? I guess it depends upon whether syslinux can support UEFI. From what I'm reading, UEFI support is alpha in version 6.

I'm honest, I've never done tests with UEFI :(
The limit of partitions is due to avoid that idiots delete their system partition
