Installing on mac
Posted: 25 Dec 2014, 01:12
Hello,
I've installed porteus on my computer at work (thinkpad) and I LOVE IT! So now I'm trying to install it on my mac, but I'm having lots of trouble. I want to keep my mac partition and I've installed refind to handle the booting. Worked fine for slackware, but I really want to see porteus running off the hard drive. sda1 is boot partition, sda2 is mac, sda3 is mac recovery, sda4 is porteus (hopefully). I tried running Porteus-installer-for-linux.com, but it dies with 'error 2.' Searched the web and could not find anything on error 2. Here's my debug.txt from the install:
Thanks a lot! PLEASE HELP!
