Support

  1. booting and utilising GPT-partitioned disks is supported by the kernel & core utilities
    • many distributions, particularly smalller ones, do not implement this support by default
      • a pointer to lack of support is that the live-CD boots & runs normally, but the installer finds no suitable HDD
