[Bio-Linux] Fresh install - partitioning?

[Vikram Chhatre]

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your reply.  I have tried going both ways, creating partitions
or having the system do it.  I am ending up with the same error in both
cases.

“The grub efi amd64 signed package failed to install into /target/. Without
the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.”

The Ubuntu forum search hasn't been too useful with this error.  Do you any
suggestions?

Thanks
Vikram
