			== UEFI boot the easy way ==

			I recently had a requirement for a small secure and complete Linux on a USB stick.
			In order to make it "future proof" the usb should be UEFI bootable.
			And as regular backups are needed the system should be a small as possible.

			So after weeks of trial and error I discovered this:

			In order to make the USB UEFI bootable issue the command:

			[[export USE_EFI=YES]]

			before running setup-alpine.

			Shrinking the root partition was slightly more complex.
			Edit the "/sbin/setup-disk" script and change line 970 ( or thereabouts )
			from:
			[[local root_size=]]
			to:
			local root_size=${ROOT_SIZE}
			Then
			[[export SWAP_SIZE=0]]
			[[export ROOT_SIZE=750]]

			Before running setup-alpine as normal.

			Then you have a less than 1GB fully fuctioning command line Linux
			which is boots UEFI only.

			The setup script creates an annoying dummy save file in /dev/sdX2
			which can be safely removed.
