Trying to wrap my mind around EFI partitions and dual-boot UEFI installs. Installed El Capitan with Clover on an SSD without incident. Now I'd like to install Ubuntu (UEFI version) as a dual-boot on the same SSD. Q: If I let Ubuntu installer write its grub to the EFI partition, will it overwrite Clover, or will it just add a folder of Ubuntu executables to the partition (in which case It'd be be able to boot Ubuntu via the Clover boot menu without any problem)? With Legacy, I simply installed grub to /root of the Ubuntu partition, and Chameleon/Chimera would just hand off the boot command, booting Ubuntu without incident. This doesn't seem to be the case now with Clover and UEFI-only installations on gpt/GUID drives. Seems as though I now need to install grub to the same EFI partition as Clover, but I'm afraid to do this, as I'm thinking that grub will overwrite Clover (like it did in the old days with Legacy). Is this the case?
