I mistakenly installed the Gnome Desktop from a live DVD - my SSD is

back to promoting the DVD drive. Interrupting the boot simply offers me the choice of the
existing Workstation or Rescue. How can I access the spin install?
This sounds like you may have UEFI enabled in your motherboard bios.
When you boot you machine it should display a start up interface that
lets you go into the motherboard bios setup, the key for this is usually
F2 or DEL. Have a look in there to see if it provides any mechanism to
turn UEFI on or off, and whether it provides any mechanism to change to
order of boot device selection and whether that provides any distinction
between UEFI and legacy devices. The motherboard previous motherboard I
had provided that level of functionality with drag and drop boot
ordering with visual UEFI indicators on the device icons, the current
motherboard I have doesn't provide that level of functionality.
Just one question on this, what makes you think that F27 has turned UEFI
back on? I ask this because I am not using UEFI on any of the 3
operating systems I use on this machine as I don't have any efi
partitions, but F27 has installed efi packages and created an efi
directory structure within /boot.
