Re: [orca-list] EFI3M more friendly for the blind and visually impaired

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

To be clear, the new files are in a separate directory /EFI/EFI3M, not
in /EFI/fedora that is untouched by EFI3M, not in a separate partition
as I mistakenly wrote.

As a reminder, having stuff needed for each system in its own directory
allows to store in the same EFI partition as many OS loaders has its
size allows.
