I did, it is.

Not a bad idea.

I have progress of sorts to report. I ran the live CD just to get into
the system, and from there I installed grub-efi-and64-signed manually,
just using apt-get. It installed without any problems at all, but there
was still no Linux entry visible in the output of efibootmgr. I figured
the bits were now in place, so I manually ran efobootmgr to create a
suitable entry, then ran it again to change the boot order to put the
new line after the Windows Boot Manager entry. On boot, I now see a
Linux entry! Yay! But because I used the defaults it's not referencing
the correct binary. I stupidly didn't write down the name it inserted by
default, but it mentions redhat :-)

Windows still boots, so I haven't screwed anything up yet, I hope.

What is the correct file to specify for Ubuntu 15.10? Uncle Google is
providing conflicting information.

Regards, K.
