 +===== Foreword: Regarding UEFI =====
 +
 +[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFI|UEFI]] (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is the proposed successor to traditional BIOS.  While some of the intentions behind the development of UEFI were to increase security and add flexibility for hardware implementations, the real world results are as variable as the number of hardware manufacturers implementing the UEFI standard.\\
 +\\
 +While the Debian project has worked diligently to address the installation and booting problems that may result when installing their OS on UEFI hardware, issues may still come into play during the installation procedure.  Most of these issues can be resolved by taking one or both of the following actions in UEFI / BIOS.
 +
 +  * **Disable Secure Boot**.  Secure boot is designed to prevent changes to the currently installed OS.  Obviously, this has the potential to interfere with a new OS installation.   
 +  * **Enable legacy BIOS**.  This may be represented as **Enable Legacy BOOT**, **Enable Legacy BIOS** and similar labels.  **__Disable__ UEFI Boot** may be an option as well.
 +
 +For users who are unsure of how to enter into BIOS and set variables, the guidance found -> [[https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-enter-bios-2624481|here]] may be useful.
