Trying to install on a Dell Latitude E7240 256GB SSD, 16GB RAM.

TinyCoreLinux boots using EFI without problems.

In case anybody needs it:

I got around the problem by downloading the Fedora Workstation 43 Live iso and installing that. Once it was installed and rebooted, I was able to upgrade to Fedora Workstation 44.

Given that the Fedora Workstation 44 iso installer does not work, this was not exactly a welcoming first experience with Fedora...
