Puredyne/Mac install

You can find a lot of useful informations here: However, in short: on OSX, install Refit boot Puredyne with the live CD/DVD partition your HDD with Gparted and add one EXT3/EXT4 partition for your Puredyne system and one for your swap (usually 2 times your RAM size) (note that GUID Partition Table (GPT) seem to not like more than 4 partitions on a drive). install Puredyne during the install, when you're done with setting up the partitions, don't forget to click on advanced and change where to install GRUB bootloader: i.e. install it on /dev/sdaX (where X is your "/" puredyne partition) instead of the drive mbr hd0 (which is the default), otherwise you might get in trouble with grub2 and refit. finish the installation shut down your computer start your computer now you should have a linux icon in your Refit boot menu saying: Boot linux from partition X go into Refit Partition tool and synchronize your partitions boot into Puredyne Troubleshouting After the installation some things might not work as expected. The support varies a lot from one model to the other. For instance the sound doesn't work out of the box in some imac's , In that case we had to add "option snd_hda_intel model=imac24" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and restart alsa with "sudo alsa reload" command.
