# Setup Windows 11 on your computer first if not yet done. Also, make sure there is storage space allocated for your Slackware64 15 installation.
# Boot Slackware64 15 installer. Perform the following steps after logging in as root during Slackware64 15.0 setup:
cfdisk /dev/nvme0n1 # Create swap and root partitions.
setup # Start with addswap. EFI partition will be added to /etc/fstab. Proceed with setup. After intstalling the packages, skip LILO and ELILO installation. After setup, go back to shell to proceed with the steps below.
mount # This is for checking your mounts.
chroot /mnt /bin/bash
source /etc/profile
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# If you are trying this documentation on Virtualbox first, here are additional steps. For Virtualbox to boot on UEFI you also need to copy grub to a new directory:
mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/boot # -p option creates any intermediate directories
cp /boot/efi/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
# Additional Virtualbox steps end here. Proceed with "exit" and "reboot" as shown below for both non-Virtualbox and Virtualbox setups.
exit
reboot
