@ -12,40 +12,59 @@ Limine works with either a DOS or an GPT partion table. GPT is recommended.
A FAT partion is required. A modern trend is to make the FAT partion the /boot directory so make the size at least 256M or 512M.
`mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sdXY (for example and where X = disk letter and Y = the partiton number)`
`mkdir /mnt/boot`
`mount /dev/sdXY /boot`
`pacman -Syu linux-lts limine`
`mv /boot/limine/limine.cfg /boot/limine/limine.cfg.jobopkg`
`nano /boot/limine/limine.cfg `

#### Installing Limine on a new UEFI installation
Step 0: The following command should be run outside (if non-systemd) and inside the chroot:
mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
Steps 1 through 8 apply to a new UEFI installation as well but steps 1-5 are very familiar to UEFI setups and dont really need instructions here.
`pkg -S efibootmgr`
`mount -t efivarfs efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars`
`mkdir -p /boot/EFI/BOOT`
`cp /usr/share/limine/BOOTX64.EFI /boot/EFI/BOOT/`
`efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sdX --part Y --loader EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI --label Limine Boot Manager --unicode`
where X and Y need to be replaced with your disk letter and partition number. Note that backslashes are used here instead of forward slashes. Also note that /boot or \boot is omitted as it is cover by the disk and partition info.

Installing limine on an existing system with GRUB can also be done but limine does not replace or reorder the efibootmgr entries but Ill leave that for another day.
