32bit EFI 64bit .iso notes for GNU/Linux installs

hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o destination_file.img source_file.iso
diskutil list
diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk1 1 "Free Space" "unused" "100%"

Particularly helpful is partitioning as GPT from command line in macOS:

diskutil partitionDisk /dev/disk2 GPT JHFS+ New 0b

dd if=[Directory/to/udrw/img] of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m
diskutil eject /dev/disk2

First, disable Gatekeeper because it is stupid - use Terminal

sudo spctl --master-disable

Second, disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) because it is stupid and won't let you dual boot properly. Reboot your Mac, holding down command + r, and once in the recovery OS, open a Terminal and enter:

csrutil disable

Now, reboot your Mac normally and enter a Terminal.

cd ~
wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.11.2/refind-bin-0.11.2.zip
unzip refind-bin-0.11.2.zip
cd refind-bin-0.11.2
sudo ./refind-install
sudo reboot

sudo dscl . -delete "/SharePoints/shortnameofuser's Public Folder"
sudo reboot

To add shell scripts to Terminal command, open bash.rc, and add this to the fields (first create a directory for your scripts):

export PATH="/path/to/dir:$PATH"

#Then, restart Terminal by:

source .bashrc

#I also added the directory of my shell scripts to the path directory

cd Volumes/Cave/etc/
nano edit paths 

#Then add a line to the scripts folder:

/Volumes/Cave/Users/axes/Scripts

#To make a script executable (not tested yet - old commands in fodler)

chmod +x yourshellscript.sh

#El Capitan Boot Volume command - presuming it is in the Applications directory and is the GM Candidate version … if not, substitute in version / title of the one you have:

sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan\ GM\ Candidate.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan\ GM\ Candidate.app --nointeraction

sudo slapconfig -setmacosxodpolicy -binding required

#To rebuild an Open Directory if nothing else works (Quit Server, Run Command, Restart CPU)

sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver

#Making an alias called “fix_brew”

alias fix_brew='sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/'

#preferred way of re-owning homebrew is to use this command below

sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/

#or

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/

#disable System Integrity Protection

csrutil disable
csrutil enable
csrutil status

#change gatekeeper settings or disable entirely or re-enable

spctl --status
sudo spctl --master-enable
spctl --add /Path/To/Application.app

#disable ssh on *nix machines

su - root
cd /etc/ssh/
nano sshd_config

#change the following lines and make sure to remove comment (#) …

ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

UsePAM no

#restart ssh - which on linux is below … macOS uses launchd so not sure yet

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

#add user from command line - should prompt for password

sudo sysadminctl -addUser <exampleuser> -password - -admin
