[manjaro-dev] [PATCH] Thus GPT/UEFI support fixes

[Philip Müller]

Hi Ramon,

thx for the information. Maybe you can adjust the code for the advanced 
mode directly in our source code since you have now full access to my 
git-repository. I'm glad that you have the hardware to test it. This 
helps Manjaro and Antergos a lot. Keep up the good work.

kind regards

Philip
