If you've used Puppy Linux long enough to find that you'd like to have the ultra portable configuration of both operating system and data on a single USB flash drive, read on to see how you can accomplish that. To install Puppy Linux to a USB flash drive, you must have a flash drive of at least 256MB of free space. Page 1 of 2 - The Right Method to Install Puppylinux to a USB - posted in Linux & Unix: Whats the Right Method to Install Puppylinux to a USB drive? Can I burn the ISO to a USB from Imgburn and boot from that USB and save files to it without booting from a Puppy live cd? Download Naruto Vs Pain Bahasa Indonesia Full Movie.

You should see a list of disks like the one in the screenshot to the left. Note the red box around /dev/disk2. You can see that it has a Windows FAT32 partition, our usb stick is 8 GB big, you can see the size there is 8.1GB, which is clearly much smaller than the main hard drive, which is 500GB in size. Just make sure you identify which disk your usb stick is and take a note of that. The one we are using is /dev/disk2. Neverwinter Nights Ключ. Now you need to unmount the usb disk, to do that issue the following command diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 Obviously if your USB stick is not disk2 then change it to suit.

It should tell you that the unmount of all volumes on the disk were successful. Now all we have to do is copy the UDRW version of the iso image to your USB stick. For that, we will use trusty old dd 🙂 sudo dd if=ubuntu1704.iso.img of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1m Things you have to be aware of here • This is a fully destructive command. It will blow up any disk you point it to, that’s why we made sure you got the note of that USB stick in diskutil list, above. • if= is short for input file, meaning the input file is the name of the iso file you converted into the iso.img file.

We are using the shortened filename here just for an example filename. • of= is short for output file. The output file, is in fact a device. In this case, we are using (r)disk2; disk2 obviously is the drive we noted earlier, we use the r in front of it because that allows raw device access, so its marginally quicker. • bs=1m means block size, 1 megabyte. You don’t have to use this option, however it will significantly increase the speed of the transfer to your USB stick. Everything went according to Hoyle, on my MBP 8,2 late 2011, OS X 10.11.3 was very easy to follow (Thank You) except the last three commands, not that they were not easy to follow, it was I didn’t understand them.

Would I mount my OS X partition to read and write from Linux MInt 17.3 Cinnamon x64 or back in OS X? And why would I want to when I want to use Linux as my operating day to day system?

I’m beginning to hate OS X as much as I hate Windows. Can I put a plug in for tips, tricks, and tweaks for Linux Mint (mainly) but there is tweaks for Ubuntu also. Now on to read Jessie’s blog. Once again thank you for putting refind in noob’s terms. Thanks for your detailed tutorial. I’m trying to install Linux Mint 17.3 64-bit on a MacBook Air (Early 2015), with OSX 10.11.3 (El Capitan). I followed your tutorial, but when I boot from the Live USB and I arrived to the “partitioning screen”, I don’t see any partition, and my /dev/sda seems to be empty.

What I’ve tried so far: 1) turn off the encryption of the hard disk 2) disable SIP protection and install rEFInd 0.10.2, which is working properly at boot time However, my /dev/sda still seems to be empty. Any help about how to manage to install Linux Mint on this MacBook Air would be very much appreciated. This is what worked for me. After install of LM on mbp 8,2 I had 3 icons, osx, lm, and a penguin (ubuntu) following instructions above. I tried everything in refind.conf to get rid of the third icon, adding dont_scan_ volumes, dirs, folders, (three separate lines), nothing worked. Booted into LM opened the file folder then clicked on file system, did a search of efi, there are a lot of returns.

Open the efi folder that is capitalized EFI as root deleted the ubuntu folder, restart, now only two icons OSX, LM. Most everything went off without a hitch. Though REFInd doesn’t seem to be doing quite what it’s supposed to. I followed all the instructions to a tee, aside from the “fs0: load ext4_x64.efi” and “fs0: map -r” as it was unclear if I was supposed to have those as two seperate lines or what, anyways, Ubuntu is installed and runs. However, when I go to power the computer on it just boots directly into Ubuntu without the REFInd menu coming up at all.

If I hold alt/option on power up I can select Macintosh HD and boot, but otherwise it seems REFInd doesn’t actually do anything. What should I do? Thank you for this guide, it helped me qite a bit with understanding the modifications to the Refind’s.conf file.

Installed Kubuntu 16.04 on Macbook Air 4.2 (mid 2011) with OS 10.10 (did not upgrade to 10.11). Everything worked out of the box: wifi, backlight, sound, etc. One difference: I dropped –alldrivers from./refind-install command because of the refind warning (said that it might affect Apple partitions) and that did not have any effect (it worked). However one quirk occured and i don’t know why: Kubuntu 16.04 logo is now the first thing that comes up on starting, No Apple, and no Refind menu, not even Grab menu is being showed. I am quite OK with that but it would be nice to have Grab at least.

Why did this happened? One more thing. When I was booting first time Kubuntu from the flesh drive there were two icons of the flash drive, one saying EFI version and the other saying Classic. I booted into EFI version and then run install. Maybe this explains why the Kubuntu now runs on the this macbook just like Apple system used to, without menu. Hey, I’m having an issue that no one else seems to be having.

I followed the instructions and everything works great until it comes time to boot to the alternate OS (I’m doing Linux Mint 18.1). When I go to select the second option from the rEFInd boot screen, it seems my keyboard doesn’t work. As best I can tell, it doesn’t initialize until after the OS starts. (Worth noting, I’m on a Mac mini, not a macbook, so the keyboard is a peripheral plugged into a usb port) I’m not a mac guy and have no idea what to do about this. Also of note, I can’t resize the OSX partition because it’s a startup partition but that’s fine because I intend to blow out OSX entirely and replace it with Linux anyway. Hi dk, It looks like the file you are editing is empty, or it doesn’t yet exist. Either way, that’s not correct.

Assuming that you have installed refind properly, the config file will be somewhere in /Volumes/ESP. Use the find command to search for it: $sudo -s (this gives you an admin ‘root’ prompt. Enter your own mac’s password here) #cd /Volumes/ESP you should now be in the ESP folder. If this doesn’t exist, you did something wrong installing rEFInd. Now, search for the refind.conf file: #find.

-iname “refind.conf” After a moment or two, it will then show the folder(s) where the refind.conf file exists, for example:./EFI/BOOT/refind.conf if that’s the case, that means the file is located in /Volumes/ESP/EFI/BOOT. If find returns 0 results, then the file is not there at all, then again, rEFInd is not installed properly. To edit the file, maybe use the nano text editor rather than vi, if you are a complete novice with Linux. Let’s say that your result showed./EFI/BOOT/foo/refind.conf, you’d do #nano /Volumes/ESP/EFI/BOOT/foo/refind.conf To exit and save after you make the relevant changes, hit Ctrl+X and say Y for yes (note it’s control key, not command). Hope this helps.

About 3 weeks back I installed Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon on my Macbook Air 2013 and have been having a great time with it. I completely scratched OS X from the system–got tired of dealing with it after years of frustration and avoidance. Now it runs just like I need it to with a Linux desktop and I am no longer needing to deal with Apple store, OS X, etc. I am posting this from my Linux Mint desktop running on Macbook Air.

I have it running with a large Hi-res Mac 27 inch display using the Thunderbolt connector and Mac external USB keyboard. I use a standard PC mouse which I prefer over the silly mac mouse. The expansion connectors on the Monitor work as well–network and USB connectors work! I have not tried the other connectors. The only issue I am having is that it will not hot-swap the big Thunderbolt monitor in and out–I can deal with that with a simple shutdown before removing it from the Mac Monitor. I have never been happier with this system now that I am running Linux Mint on it!
