Re: [orca-list] Not sure who to report this to, but would like to see an updated arch install audo tutorial using efi.

Matthew:

The Talking Arch iso image you reference is the most recent. It boots on
both EFI and BIOS machines.  I can tell you that I've personally used
this very iso image to install Arch Linux on a bios machine as well as
on an UEFI machine in recent months.

So, whether you're having difficulty getting the image to boot on your
system, or whether you're having difficulty correctly configuring the
installed system to use UEFI as it boots, be sure you're following the
guidance at:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide

There's nothing accessibility specific about UEFI support on Arch,
therefore no reason for Talking Arch to do something special for blind
users.

Also, please note that with a conformant UEFI you should be able to
avoid Grub and simply use System D Boot. This can be much easier to
install and configure:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-boot

If you're having specific  issues, please be more specific in describing
your problem.
