Fedora 22 Mac Install

maxpax318 · 07-21-2015, 11:53 AM

I'm trying to dual book my mac mini with Fedora 22 but keep getting the following error:

sad may not have enough space for grub2 to embed core.mg when using the ext4 file system on lumlu

I'm trying to make a partition install with 10Gb space - any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi & Welcome to Linux Questions.

You'll need to make your Fedora partition at least 20 GB.
If you only have 10 GB of free space you will have to shrink your Mac osx to make room for your Linux installation.

-::-When I installed Fedora when it was 20 I made several partitions. One for /boot, /, /home and the swap partition.-::-

I don't have experience with a Mac, sorry I don't know more:-
Maybe other Fedora users will chime in that have a Mac.

I created a partition on my OS X HD of 25G, then during the installation using Anaconda, i selected my HD and then deleted the partition i created so i could "reclaim space". I was then able to install Fedora in that space
