No, we need to be clear that you do *not* have to get permission from someone else to run a program on your computer. You can get permission from *yourself* by using your own signing key. The only downside is that you can't distribute your custom kernel without also providing the signing key to whomever is going to *also use it with secure boot* (they are free to disable secure boot, of course, or sign it with their *own* key, just like you did). This "new world" doesn't tie you to Microsoft or any other company. -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
