Install On A Mac


Is there a guide for installing on a Mid 2006 Macbook? I used linuxmint-20-cinnamon-64bit-mac-mattgadient.com.iso. It does the default installation easily produces the efi partition, and runs well. It is not friendly to doing the "Something Else" method. That does everything but create the efi partition.

The Mid 2006 Mackbook uses 32bit efi and 64bit Intel processor.
