The error that I get is "The Grub-EFI-AMD64-Signed Package Failed to install into /target/. Without the grub Boot Loader the Installed System will not Boot. My partitioning is GPT with a EFI partition
/boot/efi it is 32 Mb fat 32. Now my question is does LXLE 1604.1 support uefi / efi or not? I Don't know what you mean by smart boot.. All of my other distro's that are UEFI / EFI aware put grub in the EFI partition and the Boot Windows and Mint and Ubuntu and several others that I have tried. With no problem I might add. Now my question again is LXLE uefi / efi aware and cal it boot using a EFI partition or does it have to be MBR partitioning. I can boot it using another distro that is UEFI / EFI aware by booting LXLE from its root partition. Please advise and be specific.

First of all I was not trying to spam the forums. I came here to try and get help with a problem that you don't seem to understand. I try to explain fully what the problem is. I have Asus UEFI Bios on a A88XM-A Asus motherboard The Bios does not say anything at all about Smart Boot. It is a UEFI Bios. It does have a disable Secure Boot, which is disabled. It also has a compatibility mode for other OS besides windows which is enabled. My partitioning is GPT. I can install LXLE on this SSD Disk, but it will not install grub except in the root partition. You cannot install to the MBR with GPT partitioning. it has to install to a /boot/efi partition which I have on the ssd disk. Other OS's that are UEFI / EFI aware install just fine. What is the solution? I would like for LXLE to be stand alone on its own SSD disk without having to partition a disk with MBR partitioning. From what I have read Smart boot uses the MBR and smart boot would not be able to work with GPT partitioning. With GPT partitioning the MBR is protected and not used. Can you help? if LXLE is MBR partioning for its grub bootloader to work, then say so. if it will work with UEFI /EFI Bios and partitioning, then How?

I have tried both ways using a  Blank Gpt partitioned drive. I will try it again if you think that will help. I have installed it 5 or 6 times now. I tried it again. doing everything from scratch again. here is what I did and the results. I appreciate your help in this matter. Here is what I did. I hope this is not to long. I downloaded a fresh
copy of LXLE and installed the ISO to a USB Stick and from the live
install I then installed it to a Blank SSD Disk with GPT
partitioning. I let live LXLE install, use the whole SSD Disk.

It
made a ESP partition, a Root partition, and a Swap partition. When it
got to the part of installing the Grub Boot loader it crashed. I
clicked close and the following error message came up and the
computer froze up. The error message was.

Because it froze up
at that point the only thing I could do was reset the computer. I
then booted another drive and ran grub update allowing me to boot
into LXLE using another distro on a different drive.

Downloaded the beta and installed it in a SSD Disk with uefi bios and gpt partitioning. Grub installed like it should this time. Thank You for your time and effort.
