[arch-general] efi boot kernel file sync - is it still necessary for refind?
According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/UEFI_Bootloaders#Sync_EFISTUB_Kernel_in... The recent (and current) version of refind-efi auto-detects efi kernels in /boot and that wiki article says that it is no longer necessary to sync files from /boot/ to /boot/efi/EFI/arch/ Does that mean when first installing arch in a uefi system then it is also no longer necessary to copy the vmlinuz and initramfs files to the EFI /arch/ directory at all? Or is it necessary only once as indicated in the wiki? i.e. is the wiki fully up to date? Thanks. -- mike c

Thanks.
Secondly does the Beginners Guide at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide need the section on "Efistub" updating to reflect the same change for using refind-efi?
