I just installed chimaera on a 21" 2008 Intel iMac that will now be donated to a small school.
So thank you Devuan team and community! It would have been e-waste as it's no longer possible to refresh the OS (El Capitan, the highest version that could be installed) because Apple no longer provides support for refreshing it from the recovery partition. I found this out the hard way: The recovery process bricked the still-working El Capitan after Apple's repository reported, "no packages available". (I had thought refreshing the OS would be a good way to fix a disk error that DiskUtility reported but could not fix.) I had installed the rEfind boot loader, which creates a menu of all bootable partitions, to test the devuan ISO. The subsequent install process didn't overwrite the boot sector but put grub on the partition's boot record. Thanks to the Debian project and Devuan, this valuable hardware can have a new life. I'm grateful! -- Joel Roth _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
