I've got 3 of these free Macbooks, hate to not make them usable. Apparently if
I put the Linux on DVD it'll work. I *think* we've got some blanks in the
office...

That was the excuse apple used to not allow el crap (or some version prior to
el crap) to install unless you had core i 5 or i7 or some such nonsense. Apfel
has become the new M$....forcing you to buy new machines for no good reason.
Irritating, but I fixed the problem by fixing a cheap broken i7
Curt Raymond via Mercedes June 5, 2017 at 7:49 PM Some of you might
remember I found a small cache of Macbook Pro Core2Duo machines. I'd intended
to install MacPup Linux on one of them and use it as a machine for camp, mostly
for pulling pictures off game camera SD cards.Turns out that most (all?)
Core2Duo machines use a 32bit EFI even though its a 64bit machine. The hoops
that have to be jumped through are not insurmountable but definitely
annoying... Gee thanks Apple...
