installing on uefi multiboot.

greets!

I want to install Trinity on a multiboot uefi system. I think I've 
messed up the uefi already so I am wary about doing something that 
renders the system unbootable. (will of course do backup but still...)

it's got Windows 7 and NetRunner on it. csm is turned on (which I 
think is part of the problem) and of course secure boot and fast boot 
are off.

when it boots it goes into BIOS, ok UEFI, and I can choose or it 
defaults to Linux. my preference would be to have a grub interface but 
so be it for now.

suppose I now install Trinity. should I let it write to the mbr or 
rather to its own partition?

if you know a good (detailed but essentials highlighted) online 
reference, that would be great. as yet I'm confused about the logic of 
uefi.

thanks for advice!

f.
