I just need to know if that there is currently a safe way to install Linux on an external hard drive for use on my computer. I was starting to wonder if it might be because the drive is formatted as an exFAT partition? Neither rEFInd nor the system recognizes the hard drive as a bootable partition. MPlayer OS X v.

All I have put on the disc is the ISO of Fedora.Īdditionally, after this, I have tried putting the necessary files for installation on an external drive partition that I want to install Fedora on full-time however, I am also having issues with that as well.

The mac OS X Mavericks are one of the most revolutionary Mac OS X releases that imbibed all the revolutionary features that make apple stand a class apart. The primary reference that I looked at for how to install Linux onto Mac OS X (on a separate partition) was written for Tiger (see here MacLife magazine), so I assume there are some things to be updated in that respect.įurthermore, the boot menu that I have heard has broken on Mavericks is rEFIt. I have read, however, that the software that lets you dual-boot Mac OS X and Linux is broken on Mavericks, which is where my reluctance comes from. I know there are a plethora of guides out there on how to do this, but I have not encountered one yet about if it remains the same on 10.9.
