Install Mac OS X Yosemite on a PC from Windows. We use a ready-made flash drive image. Installing Mac OS X on PC
- OS X Yosemite 10.10 distribution. What is needed is a retail image, not an assembly. Let other users use the shitty builds, we will install the original system. You can download it from here: http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4753908 (UPD: the current link to the torrent is http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4846916)
- Compatible hardware with OS X 10.10, namely: Intel Z77, Z87 chipset. H77, H87 will also fit. Processor Intel Core i3, i5, i7. Compatible motherboard, preferably from Gigabyte. The best options: GA-Z77.., GA-Z87-D3H, GA-Z87m-HD3, GA-Z87-HD3, but others are also possible on the Z77, Z87 chipset. Compatible video card! This is a very important component for a successful hackintosh. Suitable for Intel HD 4000, Intel HD 4600, Nvidia GT 6xx series. Excellent video cards that do not require an additional factory are GT 640, GTX 650. It is better to take from Asus or Gigabyte. Don't buy video cards from Palit! Sometimes there are problems with the factory of video cards from this manufacturer. Modern hardware for Hackintosh can be viewed (updated).
- A flash drive of at least 8 GB, I used 16, but I didn’t have another one. Monitor with DVI, HDMI input. Keyboard and mouse.
So, let's begin. I will talk about creating a bootable USB flash drive with OS X 10.10 Yosemite already installed under Yosemite. You can do the same thing and from under 10.8 and 10.9 there is no difference.
If you don't have OS X installed to create a bootable USB flash drive, that's okay. You can run OS X from a virtual machine, specifically VMWare. You can download from rutracker: http://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4479139
I wouldn't be writing this article if I couldn't install Yosemite. So let's get started!
Open the downloaded image, right-click on OS X Yosemite Beta and select show package contents:
/Content/SharedSupport/
Open the InstallESD.dmg file. You will see the BaseSystem.dmg file. Open this file. If the file is not displayed because it is hidden, use the Show Hidden Files program. You can download it from here: https://yadi.sk/d/F_nshCPMbZxxW
Open Disk Utility. Launchpad->Others->Disk Utility. First, let's format the flash drive. Open the Disk Partition tab and do as in my screenshot:
All. The flash drive has been formatted. Now you need to restore the BaseSystem.dmg file to the flash drive. If you opened it in Finder, it will appear in Disk Utility on the left. Do the following:
then click the restore and erase button:
Once the copying is complete, a new window will open. Don't close it. Better close Disk Utility, we won't need it anymore. Open the flash drive and you will find the Packages file; you need to delete it. It is located at the following address:
System/Installation/
Delete the Packages file:
Don't close the window. You must copy the Packages folder to the location of the deleted file. It is located in the mounted InstallESD.dmg disk:
Insert the folder onto the flash drive:
Once you have copied the Packages folder to the flash drive, go to the OS X Install ESD drive and copy two files to the root of the flash drive:
BaseSystem.chunklist and BaseSystem.dmg must be copied. If you do not do this, OS X 10.10 Yosemite will not install completely.
We are done with creating a flash drive for our Hackintosh. Now you need to install the bootloader on the flash drive. Let's use the Clover bootloader version 2695. The versions below will not work, they do not know how to load OS X 10.10! You can download the Clover 2695 loader from here: https://yadi.sk/d/FfnRT0NGba2KL
Clover installation:
Click “Change installation location...” and select our flash drive.
The required parameters may differ on different motherboards. I'm using a Gigabyte GA-Z87m-HD3, so I only need those options that are checked.
Click the install button:
If you did everything correctly, you will see this window:
Now we need to add the kexts we need to boot the system. You now have an EFI folder on your desktop. Open it and go to the following address:
EFI/Clover/Kext
Open the Other folder and add the contents of this archive there: https://yadi.sk/d/sUWYqol2ba2dk
It should look like this:
Now let's open the EFI/CLOVER/config.plist file. Find the line Devices and you need to add there
FakeID IntelGFX 0×04128086
This must be done only if you have an Intel HD 4600 video card! Since to factory this video card in OS X 10.10 it is necessary to register it.
It should look like this:
Save the file. That's it, we have prepared the flash drive. Now we reboot, select Options (key O) and write in boot flags: -v -f kext-dev-mode=1 then the system is installed. You may need to format your hard drive during installation.
That's all. Later there will be an article about setting up installed OS X 10.10
Installing the Mac OS X operating system on regular computers is associated with a number of difficult problems. The process of creating a hackintosh requires some preparation and often ends in failure.
To install the new OS X Yosemite operating system on a PC, you can turn to the tonymacx86 project, which has been practicing similar experiments for many years. The tasks of this resource include porting Mac OS X to “regular” computers. The updated UniBeast and MultiBeast tools make it easy to install OS X Yosemite on a Windows PC. To create a hackintosh, you don't need an optical drive, just a USB drive.
With this step-by-step guide, you can install OS X Yosemite on PC in the easiest way possible.
Requirements:
- OS X Yosemite image downloaded from the App Store.
- MultiBeast and UniBeast applications.
- USB drive of at least 8 GB.
- PC with Intel processor.
How to install OS X Yosemite on Windows PC:
Step 1: Download the OS X Yosemite image from the Mac App Store.
Step 2: Download the latest versions of UniBeast and MultiBeast utilities.
Step 3: To continue, you will need a bootable USB flash drive, which you need to create using UniBeast. Launch Disk Utility on your Mac and click the flash drive in the side menu.
Step 4: Switch to the Disk Partition tab, then Current and select the Partition option: 1. Click on the Options button, toggle Master Boot Record and click OK.
Step 5: Change the name to USB and select Mac OS X Extended (Journal) format. Confirm the changes with the Disk Partition button.
Step 6: After preparing the USB drive, open the latest version of UniBeast. Skip the first screens by clicking the Continue button and clicking Agree.
Step 7: At the Destination Select step, select the USB flash drive and click Continue.
Step 8: On the Installation Type page, make sure Mac App Store Yosemite - 10.10 is checked. If you are using an older system with Socket 1156, Legacy USB Support should also be noted. Use the Laptop Support option if you are installing Yosemite on a laptop. Click Continue.
Step 9: Enter the password and click Install. Depending on the speed of your system and the speed of the USB drive, the procedure may take up to 20 minutes.
Step 10: Now you need to place the USB flash drive with OS X Yosemite into the USB connector of your Windows computer and run the hackintosh installation. To do this, you need to go into the BIOS and specify the external drive as the boot drive. Restart your computer.
Step 11: From the start screen, select USB and press Enter to continue. Use the OS X installer to format the disk to the desired format. To do this, go to the menu Utilities -> Disk Utility in the top line.
- On the left, select your drive.
- On the right, switch to the Disk Partition tab, then Current and click Partition: 1.
- Click on the Settings button.
- Toggle GUID Partition Scheme and click OK.
- Name the drive Macintosh HD and select the Mac OS X Extended (Journal) format.
- Confirm the changes with the Disk Partition button.
Step 12: Once completed, close Disk Utility and return to the installer. Specify a Macintosh HD drive to install OS X Yosemite. Install the operating system.
After the installation is complete, you need to make the HDD bootable using MultiBeast. This utility also allows you to install the necessary drivers for your sound card, Wi-Fi, graphics, network, etc.
Step 13: Restart your computer by starting it from the USB flash drive again. From the Home screen, select Macintosh HD.
Step 14: Launch MultiBeast, select the necessary drivers for your PC and click the Build and then Install button to complete the installation.
That's it, you can use OS X Yosemite on your PC!
Hello. The other day there was an urgent need to assemble a hackintosh. I know it sounds stupid, supposedly how could such a need arise urgently?
Why do you need Hackintosh?
My team is moving to a new office and we needed a new computer for the person who does video editing. By coincidence of time and circumstances, my employees edit videos in the Final Cut editor, and I also work in it. Before this, the work took place on a “hack” that was assembled 4 years ago, and now we had to leave this computer in the old office.
Accordingly, for further work we need the macOS operating system. There were several options: switch to Adobe Premier and work on Windows, which in principle is not possible. Buy an employee a new MacBook, but the tasks he performs require working on a large monitor and “rendering” 4K video, that is, large projects simply cannot be implemented on a laptop with the proper degree of convenience and speed.
You can buy an iMac, and not even a 4K one, but an old generation one, to add more RAM and increase the hard drive capacity. And then the question arose: is it worth doing this when we are talking about one application?
That is, in my employee’s work, this computer is like a machine in a factory that performs one function and does not need anything other than Final Cut. This is not a personal computer on which you need to experience all the conveniences of macOS. Plus the load is so high (up to 5 videos a day) that you simply cannot spare this computer. During the “rendering” of the video, the temperature in the room rises by several degrees, because “rendering” a 4K video with a running time of up to 40 minutes and a bunch of effects is not a child’s task.
My example is ideal to show why install hackintosh.
Let me make a reservation right away, there will be no instructions for installing this goodness, but there will be conclusions about why the “hack” is worth installing and why not.
Selection of iron
Installing a hackintosh involves preparing special hardware if you need everything to work correctly and without failures. We were lucky; most of our components were already collecting dust on the shelf, not yet unpacked. Some came for reviews, some as a form of payment for certain services, in general, there is enough junk, among it there was everything for assembling a hackintosh.
Here's what we had:
Gigabyte H110M-S2H motherboard – $55.
This miniATX “mother” is ideal for us, as it fits into the smallest case. The minimum size of the new computer case was a fundamental choice so that it would take up minimal space and could be easily moved when necessary and when moving.
Intel Core i5 6400 processor (Skylake) - $200.
Cool processor, top sales in stores. High performance, it is suitable even for normal gaming computers. And most importantly, it is “cold”, power consumption is 65w, you can install a small boxed cooler that fits into a compact case.
Memory SK Hynix LPDDR 4(2x16 GB), for all $150. There is never enough memory, since Final Cut “eats” as much as you give it, but we have a miniATX “mother” and it has two memory slots, so I limited myself to 32 GB of RAM.
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950 OC video card ($150 used). I took this video card from my hands. I'll explain why. It is inexpensive, time-tested, ideal for macOS Sierra: there are drivers for Hackintosh for it, and the performance is more than enough for video editing.
If you compare this video card with the cards that Apple puts in its modern computers, you will realize that it is even more powerful.
Of the solid state drives for the system, we chose Toshiba 256 Gb, its price is $80. This is a simple SSD, moderately fast and moderately cheap.
Our power supply is like this: Seasonic SS-520FL2 520W Fanless 80 PLUS Platinum. It costs $135 - this is a special edition of expensive power supplies without coolers. It's silent, which is great. We could get by with a cheaper solution, but we just had it, so we use it.
The result was a configuration for 770 bucks. Can we buy something similar from Apple? No, we can’t, and Apple doesn’t owe us such generosity.
For 770 bucks, we get performance on par with the top-of-the-line iMac 4K, which costs $1,900. Here we have 32 GB of RAM, just like in the top aimac, but the video card in the iMac is integrated, while we have a full-fledged, discrete one, which is approximately “1000 times” stronger than the Intel solution.
Our build compares to the performance of an entry-level MacPro with extra RAM, which costs $3,499.
How to install the system?
Now about installing the system. I am a simple person, and I adhere to the principles that tell me that everyone should mind their own business, so the hackintosh was installed for us by a person who makes money from it. He already had everything prepared, and the setup process and installation took 40 minutes. It would take me 2-3 days. You would have to sit down, read the forums, and figure it out. Why do I need all this? I paid the guy $30 and he was done in 40 minutes and had a working computer ready. This is the latest version of macOS Sierra, it was added via the Clover bootloader. It updates itself, absolutely all Apple services work on it, with the exception of AirDrop, it can be “started” by installing a Bluetooth module and a Wi-Fi card from TP-Link, it does not require additional configuration.
Windows is installed on this computer as a second system, sometimes you can “drive” some games if you want.
As a result, a working computer on macOS cost us $800; in terms of performance for our tasks, it was an uncompromising solution.
So is it worth it or not to build Hackintosh?
I know of three scenarios in which a person would want to build a hackintosh. There is only one case where it is worth doing.
1) You're curious about what kind of beast macOS is and whether it's worth switching to, but you're not ready to spend money on a Mac.
This is the worst option, since after numerous procedures and selection of hardware, you will not understand the delights of Apple’s “magic,” and the process of assembling such a computer itself contradicts the convenience that Apple puts into its products. Apple computers are not just an operating system, but a set of technical and aesthetic features that are perfectly shaken up in an “Apple mixer” and served to you on a silver platter.
2) You are already familiar with Apple products and need a macOS computer to perform specific tasks. As an example, video editing, working with sound, graphics or software development.
In this case, it makes sense to think about saving for the sake of an understandable result. You will earn money from this solution and in the future buy a full-fledged Mac.
3) You are familiar with Apple products and need to equip a department of several people with macOS computers. This practice is common in companies that design, develop, or test custom software.
Yes, this is against the rules and does not guarantee that the system will work perfectly, although for 4 years of using the “hack” we did not notice any problems, and therefore we assembled a new system.
Naturally, the right decision is to buy an original Apple computer, but a person’s requests and needs often go beyond the budget and sometimes beyond the technical capabilities of Apple itself. This is how you have to get out.
Hackintosh(or OSx86) is a project related to running the macOS operating system on personal computers with x86 microprocessors.
This trend began in 2005, when Apple officially announced a complete transition from the PowerPC platform to x86. In fact, since that time, Macs at the hardware level have ceased to differ from most Windows computers.
Entire communities of hackers are working to adapt and optimize their own builds of macOS, which can be installed on computers with suitable components.
Initially, the list of supported hardware was quite meager, but over time, Apple began to use various components, including their support in the system, and developers learned to run popular modules using so-called kexts (analogous to a driver).
What was Hackintosh like at its inception?
About ten years ago, I myself was closely interested in this topic, tried and experimented with installing macOS on an old home system.
I had to do a spot upgrade, burn different assemblies onto dual-layer DVDs, and spend hours selecting kexts for the installed PC components.
The impression left is twofold. On the one hand, the Apple operating system seemed like a breath of fresh air after continuous work with Windows. Easy and pleasant interface, the application is in the form of a single file without the need for installation, the absence of a system registry and, as a result, harmful viruses.
On the other hand, to work comfortably, I had to go through one system assembly after another for several days in a row, regularly experiment and deal with emerging problems.
At that time, my hardware did not allow me to achieve stable operation of macOS. I was lucky enough to see a real Mac and the way the operating system worked on my system unit did not stand up to criticism.
What has changed today
Now that I have a suitable filling in hand, I decided to return to the hackintosh topic again. Before that, I worked for more than five years MacBook Pro And Mac mini, have studied macOS well and already know how the system should ideally work.
Today, assembling a system unit for a Hackintosh is not a problem at all. There are dozens of suitable components for each position, and you can even find the perfect components that Apple uses in the Mac mini, iMac and Mac Pro.
Enthusiasts from all over the world have long been assembling desktop computers for Hackintosh and getting greater performance for the cost of a Mac or a similar computer several times cheaper.
Things are a little different with laptops.
Why hackintosh on a laptop?
Users who are trying to run macOS on laptops can be divided into two groups.
Some need the Apple operating system for development. It is impossible to write applications for macOS or iOS from Windows, and working on a virtual machine has many limitations.
Others just want to get laptop with macOS for work cheaper than MacBook.
The former are less limited in choosing a model, because they can easily survive the failure of one or more components. For example, problems with the operation of a webcam or card reader will not worry much about a programmer writing an iOS application.
For the latter, for comfortable work, they must carefully choose a laptop on which they can run all the hardware without exception.
There is no third option given here. There is no talk of any serious work with graphics or video editing on a laptop with a Hackintosh. It is not yet possible to run a discrete video card normally.
All existing options have too many nuances and disadvantages. Hackintosh for graphics or video - only stationary.
Otherwise, you can get suitable analogues MacBook/MacBook Air/MacBook Pro 13″.
What to look for
If you are choosing a laptop for trouble-free running of macOS, experts recommend choosing the ASUS Vivobook X-series or ACER Swift 3.
Both models are almost ideal for installing a Hackintosh; you can flexibly choose the parameters to suit your needs. Judge for yourself: you can get such a laptop for 67 thousand.
It will clearly outperform the basic 13-inch model for 90 thousand and will even compete with the most charged 13-inch model for 140 thousand rubles.
In this case, the user will have a full set of ports and will not have the controversial touchpad. And don’t forget about discrete graphics, which will work great under Windows, for example, for games or video editing.
If you choose a model for development, and be prepared for the fact that some components will not start, then you can choose either a stylish ultrabook or a powerful gaming machine.
In fact, all that matters is the presence of a suitable processor, everything else is solvable (almost).
What may not start
Video card
I already talked about discrete graphics above. It's better not to count on it when working with Hackintosh. Either immediately select a model with integrated graphics only, or completely disable the discrete card for macOS.
The third option promises long hours of dancing with a tambourine and rather illusory prospects.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
This module is at risk. Most likely you will have to either buy an external USB unit or change the internal board.
This is not difficult to do; suitable modules are sold on the same AliExpress and change in 10-15 minutes. Moreover, after installing such a block, it will almost always be possible to launch all the pogrom features like Handoff, Continuity, etc.
Card reader
It is quite problematic to replace a memory card receiver, and the chances of running the original one are about 50/50. If this is one of the main requirements, it is better to immediately select a model with a 100% suitable block.
Type-C and HDMI
Another place for potential problems to arise. Modules may have a specific connection scheme, which will make them impossible to work on macOS.
For example, an HDMI image on laptops with discrete graphics may be output through a powerful card, which in turn may not run in a Hackintosh.
Touchpad
Of course, even the most suitable laptops for Hackintosh will not be able to achieve the same clarity and smoothness of the touchpad as on the MacBook. The touchpad will either just work or refuse to start at all.
In any case, you should be prepared to use the Magic Mouse or Apple Trackpad.
Webcam
Problems here arise quite rarely, but it happens that the connection method does not allow the module to work in macOS.
For example, I encountered the following problem: the camera in macOS stopped working after replacing the Wi-Fi module. It turned out that the new unit for wireless data transmission has a couple of additional contacts and, when loading, intercepts part of the signal, preventing the camera from starting.
The solution is trivial - carefully seal the excess contacts with tape.
Once again, I repeat that the problems described in this section can be avoided if you choose a device specifically for your hackintosh wisely.
What will work
Everything else will work without problems.
The keyboard starts up (even with a numeric keypad), the buttons clearly work to adjust the brightness and volume. You can even turn on the backlight and smoothly adjust it using the function buttons.
On my ASUS in Windows with proprietary drivers there are only 4 gradations of key backlighting, but in a Hackintosh the glow can be changed within 10 positions.
The system can correctly fall asleep and wake up, and reliably display the battery charge (there are problems with this on some models).
The display, processor and storage work great. On the latter, you need to enable TRIM.
Software features include iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Handoff. AirDrop works with minor interruptions (but who really uses it?). Of course, there are no problems downloading applications from the Mac App Store and exchanging program data via the cloud.
Even system updates can be installed without problems. It is recommended that you take your time with security updates only. It’s better to wait a couple of days after the release for a reaction on thematic forums.
The main thing I was afraid of from my past experience was poor system performance. It turns out that all this is far in the past.
Now my ASUS perfectly passes itself off as a MacBook; in everyday tasks, the difference with the original Apple laptop is not visible at all. The only serious drawback is the lack of a great Apple touchpad.
How to install hackintosh on a regular laptop
The main difficulty that discourages many from installing Hackintosh is the need to spend a long time studying sites and forums, dealing with images and kexts.
The installation process itself looks something like this:
1. We will need a blank flash drive of 8 GB or more, a bootloader, and the operating system image itself (you’ll have to look for it yourself).
2. When macOS is deployed to the flash drive, the first most difficult process will begin. We need to get the system to run on our hardware. To do this, you will have to constantly add patches and fixes to the bootloader.
Everything you need can be found in one of the largest hackintosh communities
November 7, 2011 at 2:11 pm"Hackintosh" - is the game worth the candle?
- IT companies
I am a software developer for Mac OS X and iOS. And I love Apple technology and software ( but I'm not a huge fan). Over the course of my life, I have owned many gadgets from Apple: PowerBook G4, MacBook, iMac, MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad, etc.
Technology for me is just a tool to achieve goals. I'm currently using an iMac at work ( Core i5), for personal use: a regular desktop PC, a Lenovo laptop, an Android phone and an iPad.
Recently, to work at home, I needed a very powerful computer with Mac OS X. In terms of characteristics, only the top-end iMac was suitable from Apple technology ( with Core i7-2600 3.4 GHz) and Mac Pro. Both cost exorbitant amounts of money - more than 100 thousand rubles. I was not psychologically ready to spend that kind of money on a computer. Limit the budget to the amount 55 thousand rubles and decided to build a Hackintosh. I follow the Hackintosh topic a little and have a clear idea of what’s “there and how”.
List of what was purchased for the computer:
- Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K
- Motherboard: GIGABYTE P67A-D3-B3
- RAM: 16 GB ( 4x4) DDR3 1600 MHz Kingston
- Hard drives: 2 pieces SSD Crucial M4 128 GB ( SATA 6 Gb/s) and 2 pieces of regular HDDs of 500 GB each ( regular disks left over from the previous computer)
- Video: based on AMD Radeon HD 6870
- Sound adapter: Creative Play! ( USB)
- Wi-Fi adapter: D-Link DWA-556 ( PCIe, left over from the previous computer)
- Additional unimportant little things: case, processor cooler, card reader, webcam, etc.
The GIGABYTE P67A-D3-B3 motherboard was chosen due to the fact that it is made on the Intel P67 chipset, has excellent potential for overclocking the processor, 2 SATA 6 Gb/s ports, 4 memory slots. Moreover, there is a ready-made DSDT for this motherboard.
I still have two regular hard drives from my previous computer. The computer still needed 2 SSD drives ( one for Mac OS X, the other for Windows 7) 128 GB each ( the choice of volume is justified by price). I only chose between SSDs on Marvell or Samsung controllers. SandForce didn't even consider ( at least the SSDs on this controller are the most productive) - negative reviews regarding stability of work are simply off the charts. Samsung Series 830 is not officially sold in Russia - ordering two units in Europe would cost 15,500 rubles. with delivery in a week. It was decided to take Crucial M4 128 GB - these SSDs are easily available, quite fast and stable.
The AMD Radeon HD 6870 video card was chosen because it is an extremely powerful card that runs in Mac OS X without any fuss.
USB sound adapter Creative Play! was chosen due to the fact that there is no need to make unnecessary movements with the built-in Realtek ALC889 sound card ( although it can also work in Mac OS X). Inserted Creative Play! and everything works right away.
The D-Link DWA-556 adapter on the Atheros chip (AR5008/AR5416) is a universal solution. It is suitable not only for Hackintoshes, but also for Mac Pros without an AirPort adapter. D-Link DWA-556 is seen in the system as a native AirPort right away.
Mac OS X 10.7.2 was installed using the tonymacx86 method. There is practically nothing non-native in the system, except for the Chimera bootloader and the driver for the Realtek network card ( original driver for Mac OS X from the manufacturer). TRIM support was forcibly enabled for SSDs ( TRIM is officially supported only on stock Apple SSDs).
Everything works absolutely stable and super fast. All iron ( video, sound, Wi-Fi, wired network, etc.) works perfectly, sleep mode works without problems. Working in the system and Xcode is very comfortable. The responsiveness of the system is immediate - no slowdowns, waiting, etc. You take an action and instantly get the result. If measured by "parrots", then Geekbench gives 15,500 "parrots". For comparison, the top-end iMac CTO gives about 13,500 “parrots”.
After this computer on my work iMac ( Core i5) I don’t feel very comfortable. If I had no budget restrictions, then, naturally, I would have taken the top-end iMac. But in my particular case, the choice is definitely for Hackintosh.
P.S. The point is that there are no nuances or complexities worth describing. The system is simply installed using the tonymacx86.com method without any distortions and works perfectly - there are practically no third-party components in the system (except for the bootloader and the Realtek network card driver).
P.S. II. Upon request, I launched Cinebench 11.5. Result: CPU - 8.23 pts, OpenGL - 58.75 fps.
P.S. III. Many people ask the question, how did I install Mac OS X? I gave the main link - tonymacx86, there is complete information there (literally 10 minutes of reading). Briefly (without nuances) I’ll tell you step by step (installation took about 15 minutes):
- I downloaded UniBeast, MultiBeast, DSDT for the motherboard from the above site.
- On a Mac, I created a universal installation flash drive (10.7.2) using UniBeast (Mac OS X 10.7.2 was previously downloaded from the App Store. A Mac (or another Hackintosh) is needed only at this stage. In the future, you can install the system from this flash drive anywhere.
- I threw MultiBeast and DSDT onto the same flash drive.
- I booted from a flash drive and installed the system (standard installer) - having previously formatted the disk with a GPT partition table.
- Once again I booted from the flash drive, but at startup I selected the already installed system in the bootloader.
- I put the DSDT on my desktop. Installed MultiBeast (selected UserDSDT and the driver for the Realtek network card).
- I rebooted and got a completely ready system.
