Move down to ' Built-in kernel command line'. Start the configuration program with ' make menuconfig'. Change into the kernel source code directory and get the kernel config file. Grab the kernel file from your USB drive and extract it. You have to recompile the kernel to boot without Grub or anoter Linux loader. See also how-to-swap-the-fn-use-of-function-keys-on-an-apple-keyboard-in-linux Just a note about some missing keys on the keyboard: echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode To set this during booting, add the following line to "/etc/rc.local". To set F1-F12 as default mode, set the value 2. To switch the function key behaviour, change the value in the file "/sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode". I prefer to have the keys F1-F12 without the need The multimedia buttons are not working out of the box.
Next is setup the F keys, boot without Grub2, set default boot the Plop Linux, get WiFi working, setup keyboard light. Choose "Plop Linux Desktop" to boot Plop Linux.įirst steps are done. Now reboot and keep the "alt" key pressed to open the boot menu.Ĭhoose the hard disk with the name "EFI boot". Linux /syslinux/kernel/bzImage root=/dev/sda4 Note: To create a fresh boot圆4.efi run 'grub-mkstandalone -O x86_64-efi -o boot圆4.efi'.Įdit the file "/mnt/sda1/efi/grub/grub.cfg" and add the following lines to boot Plop Linux. In the first stage you should use Grub2 as loader and then you can create a custom kernel to boot without Grub2.Ĭopy from the USB thumb drive the directories "efi" and "syslinux" to "/mnt/sda1/" Option 2: Create a custom kernel to start Linux. Option 1: Use Grub2 as boot manager to start Linux.
MACBOOK PRO FILE MANAGER ARCHIVE
Go to "/mnt/sda4" and extract the Plop Linux desktop archive from the USB drive to the disk drive as known from the usual desktop installation. I suggest to run the command " automount", which also mounts another file system that is required later. I shrinked it to 100 GB.Ĭreate a new partition, formatted with ext3. Restart the MacBook Pro and keep the "alt" key pressed, to open the boot menu.
MACBOOK PRO FILE MANAGER DRIVER
WiFi Driver (Debian repository): broadcom-sta_6.30.xz Also put the desktop tar.gz, the kernel source code, the WiFi driver and the patches onto the USB drive. But now, its just to have it documented.Ĭonnect an USB thumb drive with Plop Linux Live 22.1. When I have time, I will add screenshots and more. As the WiFi driver is not open source, you have to add it by yourself. I describe only what I needed for myself.īooting Plop Linux from USB works out of the box since Plop Linux 4.3.5.
MACBOOK PRO FILE MANAGER HOW TO
This is a short description, how to install Plop Linux and a dual boot with Mac OSX on the MacBook Pro. Note: this is a raw text, written quickly.
