Oh no. Not at all. I'm really happy. It's nothing, I went back and had a look. It has the commands to set the directory. It was in the first part. It must have exposed a flaw I had somewhere earlier in the setup. It's been great. Everything working as it should. Just a quick re-install. Anyways I've run out of time for now, got to take off for work for a few weeks. I've learned so much this past week about Macs and dual booting them with Windows. Got a great site here. I'll start again in a couple weeks from scratch, catch my flaw somewhere. Do a time machine backup before I hit that guide. Thanks so much for all your time so far. Enjoying El Capitan. in fact the GF is having me help her do a clean install on her MacBook pro. Apparently she has been wanting to upgrade to El Capitan for some time and also wanting to clean install so she is building a couple clean USB sticks for her legit MacBook. Lots of good positive things. Thanks again.

Haha, not a word of a lie. I followed all those instructions on that page. I always make sure I copy paste commands. Rebooted and my apps folder was empty, no apps would start and missing most of my right click menu.... too funny. At least I'm getting fast at reinstall, haha On another note I see your internet device is supposed to be device 0, I had been going off the assumption that Ethernet was supposed to be device En0 Since I'm using a USB dongle for wifi I'll probably have to wait until my DW1560 arrives. No rush. I had the terminal window open prior to copy pasting those commands, I never looked at them, just copy pasted. I wonder if I wasn't in the wrong folder and that may have caused that, No matter. I can still follow the first half of that tutorial you linked to and see. But after I get the new wifi card.

Wow, thanks. Sorry I took so long, I was doing a second 5558 that has the i5 5250. The beta version worked perfect for both. Had a little trouble with the second laptop's hard drive. For some reason couldn't change partitions any way I tried. Eventually did a wipe sector by sector. Working fine now. Only issues left are the FaceTime and imessage but since you say they can be related to networking perhaps they will fix themselves once I get the proper wifi card. Thanks again, I have tried this a couple times in the last say 5 years or so but never got anything stable. This works great. Stable. Still kept my existing Windows setup and dual booting.

Hi, First much gratitude to Jake Lo and Radionoise. I also have a Inspiron 5558 and most things came together today. Specs are: working... i5 5200 Broadwell Intel HD 5500 Realtek HD Audio Touchscreen Webcam Sleep Intel 7260 wifi and Bluetooth not working using an asus n10 usb dongle for now. Realtek card reader not working (I'll order a new wifi card tomorrow) Issues are as follows, I couldn't generate SSDT.aml, ssdtPRGen.sh fails with an error of "unknown processor model" I suspect that's why I can't log into face time? Clover appeared to be installing fine but nothing showed up in EFI folder, just copied in from the USB origin.zip

Hi, I've got a very similar laptop, also a Dell 5558, but I'm having issues getting started. Perhaps the wrong version of the bios? I'm trying to set the video startup memory After some trying I was not able to find the setup key in the bios that was described. I finally managed to get booted to EFI and setup_var isn't recognised as a command. I'm on bios version A10. Has anyone else had similar issues? Got the efi shell:) now looking for the variable name to set video memory Got it! I found reference to 0x15b and 0x15c, tried both, 0x15c left the system unbootable, I think that must be just for dedicated graphics, I only have the Intel. got it up running and 0x15b set at 0x3. Windows reports 192mb but I confirmed 0x3. ) Wish me luck, haha
