Hi everyone. I managed to get dual boot Windows +Anteros Linux 17.9 on the Beelink Ap34. First, on my AP34 from windows 10, I reduced the main windows partition by 10GB using the disk manager. Then in the BIOS (you get there with the DEL key) I choose boot from USB before harddrive. To create the USB drive from my other linux desktop I used the following command "sudo dd if=linuxium-v4.13-rc6-210817-artful-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=1M status=progress oflag=sync" (warning: change /dev/sdc to point to your USB drive). Then I rebooted my AP34 with the newly created USB drive with Anteros. I let it run for a while to make sure the installer updated itself from the internet to the latest version. Then I went ahead with the install. I selected the EFI partition (/dev/mmcblk1p1 if my memory serves me right) to be used as /boot/efi (but do NOT reformat!!!) and created a new ext4 partition in the 10GB space that I freed earlier to by used as root ('/', ext4, reformat), it was /dev/mmcblk1p5 if I remember correctly). I went ahead with the install. Then, I downloaded refind v0.11, the .zip file and unzipped it (this got me the latest version of refind). The really important part is to mount your installed anteros and tell refind about it: mount /dev/mmcblk1p5 /mnt ; mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/boot/efi/ ; ./refind-install --root /mnt. And that's it. In the BIOS, make sure the hard drive (near the very bottom in the bios screen I think) is set to use refind first. I lost a few hours on this one (the key is to mount your installed anteros and use the --root option of refind), hopefully this will save you some time if you're trying to do the same. Good luck! |
