Hi,
Where can i sumit a proposal to Fedora/Redhat to also release a Fedora 18 without secure boot for users who know how to disable it in the BIOS and for users who has systems without secure boot? Not speaking for others but iḿ sure many will not like having the kernel ,moduels locked and command line sanitized.
Thank you.

IN MJG blog. a comment MJG made just answer my questions.
It restores full functionality because all the restrictions will be disabled when secure boot is not enabled.
so i guess i wont have too. just disabled secure boot and fedora 18 will be like regular fedora.:-)

Are there machines which contain a BIOS which doesn't allow disabling this? In this case, you're hosed..
Since the Microsoft Windows 8 certification requires that the UEFI firmware (not BIOS) support disabling Secure Boot by the user on x86 systems, I don't think you'll find many (if any) systems that don't support disabling Secure Boot.

There should not be at this point. But thanks to Matthew's decision Microsoft and friends will point at F18 and say "see it didn't need to be optional, they can manage anyway" and remove it a release or two later.

Does anyone know if the signed bootloader must be executed first before Secure Book can be disabled?
Or would one just enter a BIOS-like config screen before any disc activity and disable it?

Surely you can access the UEFI firmware interface before the boot loader, just like the BIOS SETUP yes.

Changing it in the UEFI interface before boot sounds much more reasonable,
A post in the other thread suggests that I might be wrong BTW, or at least that it would depend on the vendor.
but please don't call me "Shirley."
