Re: Debian 11 on old Macbook

Well if MacOSX is no longer booting immediately, then it appears installing rEFInd solved your initial problem, so that is good.

rEFInd is quite configurable via refind.conf, but you may find it is simpler to just ignore the Windows icon rather than try to force it not to appear. The hairy details are here:

And rEFInd has it's own mailing list for more user help here:

Hello,

thanks for the help and suggestions:

I don't need to press alt (option) to view the operating systems because I have rEFInd installed.

However, 2 Debian icons appear, one OS X, and one Windows.

If I click on the latter, a white writing on a black background appears with: MBR 12: and a flashing underscore.

But I can't write anything.

The Debian 2 takes me to Debian and OS X to the Apple operating system. Assuming I keep the 2 Debian, how do I get rid of the Windows symbol, since it doesn't lead anywhere, so it results useless?

Thanks again
