Can you explain me about the rootless boot flag??
I'm currently in 10.10.4 and I don't need that flag. I'm on clover 3229
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
It's a new flag for further system security, new in OS X El Capitan. Ars Technica explains it well:
System Integrity Protection, also called "rootless," is a new system security feature that prevents the user or any process from writing in system-protected folders. This list includes /System, /bin, /usr (but not /usr/local), and /sbin. Not even administrators can add to these folders or edit files that are in them, though they retain their access to the rest of the files on the drive. That's one way to protect important operating system files from external tampering!

To disable, you can just add the kernel flag / boot argument "rootless=0" to org.chameleon.Boot.plist, config.plist, or type at boot time.
