10. To add an UEFI system partition (VFAT or FAT), click Add.
11. Select a custom size (100-400MB) depending on what EFI driver and utilities you

the plug-in card detail for UEFI system partition is unknown.
12. In the Formatting options dialog box, select Format Partition > File system > FAT.
13. Under Mounting options, select /boot/efi and click Finish. The boot drive now has
a GPT disk label that contains a FAT EFI boot partition.

remainder of the installation is not unique to UEFI, for example, add a swap
partition and an EXT3 partition for root.
15. Once the installation is completed, view the partitions using the
parted -l
command. Information similar to the following is displayed:
