==============================
Linux ISO Info:
UEFI Secure boot support requires Format Drive using Grub2 as EFI Manager
Copy your Linux ISO files to folder images on FAT32 USB Boot drive U-BOOT
Supported filenames for Linux ISO in folder images are:
linuxmint.iso
runtimelivecd.iso and knoppix.iso
ubuntu.iso and Porteus.iso
Download: Linux-Mint and Knoppix-Live and Ubuntu and Porteus x86_64
Rename your Linux ISO files so that they correspond to supported filenames
UEFI mode - Mint UEFI Grub2 booting with FAT32 file \EFI\Boot\BOOTx64.EFI and \Boot\grub\grub.cfg and \Boot\grub\grub_Linux.cfg
UEFI mode - Super UEFI Grub2 booting with FAT32 file \EFI\Boot\BOOTx64.EFI and \EFI\grub\grub.cfg and grub_Linux.cfg Menu
MBR BIOS - a1ive Grub2 installed in MBR and booting with \grub\grub.cfg and grub_Linux.cfg Menu
Grub4dos is used for booting in MBR BIOS mode using Menu created with menu.lst and menu_Linux.lst
==============================
a1ive Grub2 File Manager Info:
Not needed since booting straight with Linux ISO using Grub4dos in BIOS mode and Grub2 in UEFI mode is preferred.
But if you prefer support of a1ive Grub2 File Manager - Download Addons at wimb GitHub
Use R-mouse 7-zip menu to Extract here will Add the content of addon to existing folder and confirm Overwrites with yes
In x64 program use Super UEFI Grub2 Manager as setting for support of a1ive Grub2 File Manager
In this way the files of a1ive Grub2 File Manager and Super-UEFIinSecureBoot-Disk_minimal_v3 (more info) are Added to the USB Multi-Boot Drive
==============================
In case UEFI Grub2 is not available as Boot option in your F8 Boot Menu then you need to use BOOTICE to Add UEFI entry.
Unneeded for USB-Stick, but UEFI Grub2 boot entry is easily lost in case of Portable SSD.
Select as UEFI Boot entry the Linux Mint Grub2 file \EFI\Boot\BOOTx64.EFI
