[Bug 1259047] Re: ubuntu 13.10 install on usb drive fails on uefi system

[dss1873]

I should add that in other instances of trying to install, the install
would complete, but without installing the necessary boot files in the
efi system partition. See the following thread where I asked for advice:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2189194

NOTE: I'm a completely novice and this is my first attempt to install
and try Ubuntu. So know nothing about Linux.
