UEFI bootable iso?

There is no gui in the corepure64 iso, once booted via the uefi stick boot, you would need to download the required extensions

I am using TinyCorePure64-6.0rc1.iso

Hej.
@ Sebus: May I propose the refind boot loader ? Works quite nice, on a windoze you just replace the original bootloader with refind: Instead of installing, just copy the refind bootx64.efi with config file into the efi partition boot directory and in to the windows dir (here it must be renamed though to bootmfgw.efi, same filename as original win loader), if not copied into win dir also your windoze will overwrite your boot settings at next boot. Your bios will start the refind bootloader instead of standard and refind will automagically scan and list all vmlinuz etc it finds and lists as bootable(depending to settings in config file), you now have the option playing freely with lots of lnx kernels without thinking about the bootloader, and its rather nice graphic with option to add your own icons. The uefi is capable of several partitions (128 ?) so you can chop up your harddrive as you wish. Refind can also scan and boot usb drives if configured for that.
Do not forget to backup original EFI partition before tinkering, I have heard of people making mistakes eventhough you and I dont have time for that.
Kindly Peter.
Edit: I confirm the issues of getting a desktop in the tinycorepure64 6.0 iso, made a post before I read your notice.

some progress being made, I can uefi boot a cd burned from a modified iso, but:
* with an external grub.cfg I get dropped to the grub prompt
* with an embedded grub.cfg I see "welcome to grub" and then a bunch of blocked out "?" like the efi font is not loaded
the almost total lack of documentation doesn't help...
Juanito:
I finally managed to create an iso that, when burned to CD/DVD, will boot in legacy bios and uefi modes - on my latitude e7240 both are listed at power on.
In uefi mode, the console should display at the native screen resolution.
The iso is much bigger than it needs to be, but there's not much point refining things if there is no demand for this kind of thing - although I wonder if the iso could also be "burnt" to usb stick...
Only tested so far on a usb external CD/DVD drive, if anytbody else would like to test CorePure64_mb-6.1rc1.iso available here:
