![]() ![]() # lines that start with a "#" symbol are comments regarding the command in the line above # To install Arch Linux onto a USB key that is bootable by a Macbook Pro (2015 Retina) # I accidentally revoked write permissions from the root user for every folder just after I got this working (I was a little too careless.), so after learning my lesson, I reinstalled linux, and wrote every command so other noobs like me could possibly benefit/locate their personal issue. Something like "Just do the same exact thing as in the installation guide/tutorial video but change _" would be great. I didn't want to have to ask someone to spell it out for me, but would someone be kind enough to tell me how to go about this? Creating an installation media using "dd", however, does work (But it's not persistent so that doesn't really help anything). I'd like this to work without rEFInd anyway. I also tried following his tutorial without variation and used rEFInd, but that didn't work either. The drive just never shows up when holding "alt" on startup of my macbook. The person in the video pretty much does what's covered in the USB Key installation guide (I.E., do the same thing as a regular installation, but move "block" in the nf file immediately to the right of "udev").Īfter following it about 6 times with variations, using a GPT, using FAT instead of EXT4, and more, nothing has worked. I followed this tutorial, which worked for booting to USB from a windows desktop: If it matters, the macbook is a Pro Retina 2015, with force touch and all that, running Yosemite 10.10.5. ![]() I want to install persistent Arch Linux onto my USB, and for it to be bootable by my macbook, and preferably also by other machines (I.E., I just want maximum compatibility with the USB, with booting to a macbook as first priority). My intention is for this to be a fully self contained guide, yet numerous links are provided throughout the text to supporting references and additional resources.I've been going at this for about a week, so I thought it warranted me creating a forum account and asking how to do this. I wrote this guide to be (hopefully) followable by anyone with a moderate understanding of current PCs. I have personally followed these steps over a dozen times on multiple computers with no problems, but I can’t guarantee it will work for you. I am simply a curious tinkerer who uses the act writing things like this as a learning experience. With an Arch Linux persistent bootable USB I have my own completely custom operating system, application set, and user interface with me in my pocket everywhere I go!Īlso, I suppose I should say, I am in no way officially associated with Linux or the Arch Linux project. I find learning how my computer works and finely tuning its configuration to be rewarding. ![]() Messing around with Linux like this can be fun (and frustrating!). You may find the nature of an Arch Linux installation provides more insight into what is happening behind the scenes than any GUI installation tool out there. Perhaps the biggest reason for the existence of this entire guide is my own curiosity. I happen to agree with this statement from the archived page and do the same thing ( ) about this guide The origininal is no longer available so the link is to web archive Easier way to install EndeavourOS ARM on a Mac M1 Parallels VMĪnd a guide with some valuable inisight.Then use guide to install endeavouros (the guide is for a parallels vm but will work here as well) If you are not familiar with persisent USB installations a project exist for creating a persistent Arch USBĪnd a wiki page on Arch Wiki which should work for EndeavourOS However I felt the information I provided to be useful nonetheless which is why I created this. I apologize for participating in the necrobump. I responded on the topic - only afterwards realizing it was a dead thread revived by some before me. ![]()
