The preparation of GRUB and UEFI boot partition for Linux Installation
process is always bothersome.
Although currently I usually prepare 256MB of FAT32 partition-1,
sometimes it is the best manner that you simply have a boot-loader in

Hi David,
I refrain from using netctl. Currently I have setup that only requires
systemd-networkd. For my server I use unbound as local dns and forward requests
to several instances of dnscrypt-proxy.
Unbound is not much overhead and is caching, so this could be of benefit
depending on your set

grub.cfg. I removed all the useless crap from grub.cfg and never used
the config for the config and all that auto-configuration features of
grub2. However, I've got a dual head setup and syslinux isn't able to
