Hi, Pieter.

I have Bio-Linux 8 running under Ubuntu 16.04, but I upgraded my
original Bio-Linux Ubuntu 16.04 in pace. There are some complications
and incompatibilities, which I'm still in the process of documenting.

It's poss1ble that you had problems with EFI booting Bio-Linux 8. Please
make sure that you are using the latest USB image, because there were
some EFI-related problems with earlier versions. I used v8.07

Please post your questions to bio-linux-list at bioinformatics.org because
it may help other people who experience similar problems with Bio-Linux.

Thanks,

  Tony.
