7/12/2023 0 Comments Bootable mac usb should be gpt![]() ![]() If anyone has any tips, please share and help me out – I'd love to get this working! Thanks in advance. I'm thinking that the PureOS ISO isn't (U)EFI compatible, so my older Mac hasn't been able to pick it up on boot? PureOS ISO: $ fdisk ĭisk: geometry: 686/64/63 I also ran fdisk on the ISOs to compare with the Debian ISO (may or may not be useful)… I know that PureOS is a derivative of Debian, so this has left me somewhat confused. ![]() 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 expected to see an external media icon labelled EFI. ![]() 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.Flashed the ISO onto a 4GB USB using Etcher (on another Mac of mine).Downloaded from and checked the hash.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. I essentially want to give PureOS a go and buy a Librem PC if it works out.
