Is BIOS / GPT installation dropped? Not mentioned in the install guides. Was there in 2012

Dear All

 

I am an old member with 252 posts. Unfortunately, when Daniel did something with the website, my user name and all my posts vanished. I had written to Daniel also. He said it is irrecoverable

 

Earlier, the web pages, forums, we not as glamourous as now.

But, in the install guides, I remember there was a paragraph about using GPT/EFI on BIOS. Now, there is no mention of it.

Why is this? Dropped?

Hello san2ban, welcome back.

 

Are you looking for more than what is under this?

It seems to all still be there, but looks like the layout was adjusted a bit.

 

There is also this, looks like it was done in January this year.

hi

I'm in the process of trying to get a BIOS + GRUB (GPT) on a BIOS-only system (Dell T7500), and I had this exact question, also (I did this back in circa 2014/15)...

...here's the WaybackMachine entry:
