  **efi-boot-update** is a PLD own utility to simplify management of EFI boot loaders. The boot loaders need to be copied to the EFI partition (often together with configuration files, the Linux kernel and the initramfs image) to operate and it is inconvenient to do this manually every time any of these changes. **efi-boot-update** automates it using the rules defined in files stored in its ''/etc/efi-boot/update.d'' directory. When enabled in ''/etc/efi-boot/update.conf'', **efi-boot-update** will be called on each boot loader or kernel upgrade and update the files on the EFI partition.

+ ===== efi-shell =====
+ 
+ Instead of loading a boot loader and starting the operating system one may wish to enter the EFI shell. The EFI shell is often not 
+ included in the system firmware and must be installed separately. For convenience, PLD Linux provides the **efi-shell-{ia32,x64}** packages with pre-compiled EFI shell executables. These can be installed like a regular boot-loader – manually or with [[#efi-boot-update]]
