My laptop died and I bought a new Toshiba laptop and didn't know about the Win8 secure boot issue and since this is where PCs seem to be headed, wanted to get it working with Kubuntu 12.10. I also bought a new SSD and wanted to load 12.10 and have it boot on the new secure boot laptop. I've pulled the new laptops HDD out and do not want to boot up on that HDD and agree to the Win8 agreement. Apparently even with the Win8 HDD installed, it will not let you get into the UEFI setup before agreeing to the Microsoft agreement.
My question is can Kubuntu 12.10 be installed on my SSD with a UEFI boot partition via a non UEFI desktop computer with the new drive attached to the desktop and booting from the 12.10 ISO usb drive?
I've looked at several UEFI posts on setup and they all say to bootup in UEFI mode and load from there. Since I can't boot from the new computer without saying "yes" to the agreement, I want to setup the drive from another computer and then move it to the new system.
