Hi all, as Apple won't fix older systems I would like to install debian on my 2009 (or so) 13" MacBook to prevent being vulnerable to Meltdown and Spectre. Sadly the internal CD drive is broken and the notebook does not boot from USB. I didn't find any hint in the Bios settings how to boot from a usb device. Is there a hack to boot such a Macbook from USB or do I have to buy a new cd drive? juh -- Soziale Plastik. Die Kunst der Allmende Essay zum 30. Todestag von Joseph Beuys http://www.amazon.de/dp/1523458763/ Taschenbuch, 130 Seiten, EUR 9,90

I tried this before and my stick was never displayed. Maybe I used non-efi images. Anyway, thanks a lot. juh

debian-9.2.1-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso on a USB flash drive boots on the
Macbook Pro's I tested. The current version should work:
