Debian Iso Which Version For Mac Os 7,1/10 6318 votes

Microsoft word for mac free. I am using Word v.16.14.1 (180613).

Goal Replace OS X with PureOS on my old Mac. I essentially want to give PureOS a go and buy a Librem PC if it works out. Issue PureOS doesn't appear in the boot 'drive' choices when I restart my Mac, so I can't boot from the ISO and run the installer. Details MacBook Pro specs • OS X Yosemite (10.10.5) • MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) • Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 • Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 • Graphics Intel HD Graphics 288 MB • Storage 256 GB Solid State SATA Drive What I tried • Downloaded pureos-8.0-live-amd64.hybrid.iso from and checked the hash. • Flashed the ISO onto a 4GB USB using Etcher (on another Mac of mine). • Unmounted and unplugged the USB. • Inserted the USB into my older Mac (detailed above) whilst it was off, then turned it on (with the Option key pressed), no PureOS boot option was available.

I expected to see an external media icon labelled EFI. Just for comparison, I downloaded the Debian 9 live install ISO ( debian-9.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso), and performed the same flashing process as listed above, and my older Mac successfully picked it up on boot. I know that PureOS is a derivative of Debian, so this has left me somewhat confused. I also ran fdisk on the ISOs to compare with the Debian ISO (may or may not be useful).

Note: This is from a comment added by the OP (who does have a working DVD drive): I've since successfully replaced OS X with PureOS from the DVD iso, installed with LVM full disk encryption, and grabbed the linux package firmware-brcm80211, which has enabled WiFi:) You are correct. The iso file only contains the software to BIOS boot. I created a virtual machine using VirtualBox and tried both BIOS and EFI boot methods.

Jul 5, 2016 - Here is a tutorial for ubuntu but you can also use it for debian just. You will need to change the version to make it match the ISO that you have.

Using the BIOS boot method, I was able to successfully install and boot using either a Master Boot Record (MBR) table scheme or a GUID Partition Table (GPT) scheme. When I tried the EFI boot method, the firmware could not detect any EFI files to boot from. After BIOS booting a PureOS install in VirtualBox, I was able to examine the ISO file and could not find any EFI files needed for EFI booting. So where does this leave us. Well, Mac users know you can not BIOS boot from the USB. So the obvious solution would be to burn the iso to a DVD and boot from the DVD drive to install PureOS.

If a DVD drive is not available, then there is another option involving Windows. The PureOS installation iso file contains software that will replace an existing Windows installation with a PureOS installation. Refresh Of course, there is the possibility that your model Mac has hardware that is not compatible with the version of PureOS you are trying to install. A free trial version of Windows 10 can be downloaded from the Microsoft website. The website gives a procedure for installing a BIOS booting Windows 10 from a USB flash drive.
