Re: [Trisquel-users] Unable to boot NetInstall from micro USD (Macbook Pro 2015)

I didn't do anything. Apologies for the miscommunication.

Based on

> While the minimal iso image is handy, it isn't useful for installing on  
UEFI-based systems that you want to run in UEFI mode. The mini iso lacks the  
proper files for booting the computer in UEFI mode. Thus, the computer will  
boot in BIOS compatibility mode, and the installation will be in BIOS mode.


That explained why it worked on one machine and not the other.

The link about the minimal install solved my mystery. Thanks!

Appreciate the response.

Thought I was crazy for a second, but I got it to work it seems.

On my macbook with macOS installed it works, as in the drive appears when I  
hold option on start up.

However, on my macbook that I wiped and installed Ubuntu it does not appear.

So I guess one solution is to reinstall macOS with recovery mode and then try  
it again.


But I might've found an easier solution:

I was poking around here  
https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/makeiso/blob/master/files/trisquel.cfg  
and noticed that the text mode actually installs NetInstall and not the  
normal one. So I guess another solution is see if your computer will detect  
the other versions and then simply install in text mode.

Hello triskellions!

I'm trying to boot Trisquel NetInstall on my macbook. I used Etcher to write  
the iso to the MicroSD card. But the drive doesn't seem to be available on  
startup. No problem with the normal version though. When I plug the drive  
into my computer the name says firmware as opposed to boot like it normally  
does.


Is there a step I'm missing?

Thanks!
