14 August 2023

• curprev 01:2201:22, 14 August 2023‎ Zcrayfish talk contribs‎ m 12,196 bytes −49‎ →‎UEFI mandatory partition mechanics: Removed nonsense; ESP should be formatted as FAT16 or FAT32 whenever possible. Added refrence to efibootmgr
• curprev 01:1901:19, 14 August 2023‎ Zcrayfish talk contribs‎ m 12,245 bytes +22‎ →‎Alpine disk layout for UEFI: UEFI ESP supports FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32; any other filesystems are vendor-specific extensions. FAT12 is gloriously impractical.

• curprev 00:2700:27, 14 August 2023‎ Zcrayfish talk contribs‎ m 11,532 bytes +19‎ →‎Minimum Alpine partition scheme: Is this sentence true at all? In my original research (namely on my UEFI class 3 machine) this is NOT needed.
• curprev 00:0500:05, 14 August 2023‎ Zcrayfish talk contribs‎ m 11,513 bytes −121‎ →‎Alpine UEFI support: I do not see how referring people to the definitions at the top of the page; which is adjacent to this section, is helping anyone. If anything it confuses new users.

• curprev 03:4103:41, 28 May 2023‎ Arrogance talk contribs‎ 11,970 bytes −874‎ This section was almost entirely crap 1.) CPU backwards-compatibility is not the same thing as "having a 286 embedded in it" 2.) the first-gen Itanium did in fact include an x86 processor 3.) it doesn't explain how 16-bit support in a CPU is a "problem"
