How long does it take to migrate to clover?

[leonvmetcalf]

It only took me a few minutes to migrate. I just installed Clover onto my HDD and selected my settings using Clover Configurator. Then I deleted the /Extra folder because I didn't use Chimera anymore and then put my UEFI drive as the 1st boot priority in my BIOS.

Wow that must be nice. Retina huh.



Is there a way you can tell if you've booted from Clover or just your Chimera/Chameleon boot?

Boot screens are different. Also, with Clover there is an EFI partition while Chimera/Chameleon does not use this.

I expected it to be a process like this. I tried doing so from a clover usb however and could't even get it to boot. Since I'm getting an iMac next year, I really think I'll just live without iMessage for 6 months...

That's no excuse.

The reason I asked about the clover boot, was that I just booted from the USB and it crashed immediately. Saying it couldn't find the kernel. Not sure if I'm supposed to copy ALL kexts over or what.
