Create a ~50-500Mb UEFI/ESI/vfat/FAT32 partition (sdX1 – see below).Boot your Mac, with the blank drive installed, from a (first) LiveUSB system - or mount the new drive on an existing system (this may be troublesome if it has a different bitness - I didn’t consider or try this).See the next section for more detail for some of these steps. This is a schematic overview of the main installation steps. However, I started out under the impression that I would manage to boot Linux directly using Apple’s screwed-up UEFI system. If I had known that installing rEFInd was inevitable, I had not gone through all the trouble of creating the first LiveUSB drive, but I would have mounted my new drive on another Linux computer and installed rEFInd that way instead (although doing this from a 64-bit system may have led to complications - I didn’t try).
#Can you run duo on mac install#
I booted Kubuntu from a custom-made EFI LiveUSB flash disc, installed rEFInd, which then allowed me to boot from the LiveUSB flash drive / USB pen drive / USB stick of my choice and install Linux. The white Core duo (without the 2) 32-bit Macbook was purchased in September 2006. The peculiarities of this process are described below. I gave up on the idea that Linux must be able to boot directly from Apple’s UEFI, and used rEFInd instead. While installing Linux on a blank hard-disc drive is trivial on most PCs, it turned out not to be on a 2006 Macbook Core duo.
