Manual install & boot (grub2 - refind)

Hi, is it possible to install LE just copy KERNEL and SYSTEM on right partitions [system and data] (just like on OE - desktop x64 system)?
I usually use Grub2 to boot OE, but i'm wondering if works with LE... maybe rEFInd works also?

Thanks

LE works in the same way as OE for those boot situations.

I have a couple of x64 Intel machines using a dual boot with Ubuntu and LibreELEC. Installing LibreELEC as a 2nd system is quite simple. Create the 2 extra partitions (both EXT4 in my case), copy the LE system files (including both md5 files) onto the 1st system partition.

Edit the 40_custom file in Ubuntu's /etc/grub.d/ folder and add the LibreELEC menu item with the correct device references, do the update-grub command and reboot, and Bob's your uncle.
