|
|
|
#. Click the :guilabel:`+` button.
|
|
|
|
#. In the :guilabel:`Size` field, enter a value for the new partition
|
|
size. For this example, we used *40000 MB*, as shown in Figure 3.

|
|
|
|
#. Click :guilabel:`OK`.
|
|
|
|
#. Share the same swap partition created by |CL| with the following
|
|
steps.
|
|
|
|
#. Under :guilabel:`Device` column, select :file:`/dev/sda2`.
|
|
|
|
#. Click :guilabel:`Change`.
|

|
|
|
|
#. Follow the remaining prompts to complete the installation of Mint.
|
|
|
|
#. At this point, the ability to boot |CL| is lost because `Grub`
|
|
is the default boot loader. Follow these steps to make the |CL|
|
|
Systemd-Boot the default boot loader and add Mint as a boot option.
|
|
|
|
#. Boot into Mint.
|
|
|
|
#. Log in.
|
|
|
|
#. Get root permissions.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ sudo -s
|
|
|
|
#. Locate the Mint :file:`grub.cfg` file in the :file:`/boot/grub/` and
|
|
look for the :guilabel:`menuentry` section. The highlighted lines
|
|
identify the kernel, the :file:`initrd` files, the root partition UUID,
|
|
and the additional parameters used. Use this information to create a
|
|
new Systemd-Boot entry for Mint. See Figure 5.

#. Copy the kernel and :file:`initrd` to the EFI partition.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# cp /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-53-generic /boot/efi
|
|
|
|
# cp /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-53-generic /boot/efi
|
|
|
|
#. Create a boot entry for Mint. The file must contain at least these
|
|
settings:
|
|

See the `systemd boot loader documentation`_ for additional
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
The *options* parameters must specify the root partition UUID and
|
|
any additional parameters that Mint requires.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The root partition UUID used below is unique to this example.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# cd /boot/efi/loader/entries
|
|
|
|
# vi mint.conf
|
|
|
|
Add the following lines to the :file:`mint.conf` file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
title Mint 18.1 Serena MATE
|
|

|
|
|
initrd /initrd.img-4.4.0-53-generic
|
|
|
|
options root=UUID=af4901e1-6238-470a-8c14-bc0f0f7715ec ro
|
|
|
|
#. Re-install Systemd-Boot to make it the default boot loader.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# bootctl install --path /boot/efi
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
If an older version of Mint does not have the `bootctl` command,
|
|
skip this step and see :ref:`multi-boot-restore-bl` to restore the Clear
|
|
Linux Systemd-Boot boot loader.
|
|
|
|
#. Reboot.
|
|
|
|
If you want to install other OSes, refer to :ref:`multi-boot` for details.
