I am making an attempt to improve an oldish MacBook AIR from (I assume) Excessive Sierra to Large Sur.
I’ve made a bootable USB and it is working high-quality:
- Energy ON with holding Choice/Alt
- Choose USB boot
- Goto Menu
- Set up BigSur
It lists 2x HD’s
- Macintosh HD
- Macintosh HD – Information
after I try to set up this OS onto both, it says I would like 9GB free area.
I don’t know how I can free any area on this (both?) partitions as a result of I can not log into the machine. If I let it try to boot up usually it hangs in some “set up?” display with “29 minutes remaining” and hangs there for ever (i’ve had it on for over 24 hours).
So -> I am hoping there may be some place I can use Terminal to manually rm some recordsdata, just like the consumer’s recycle bin or downloads or one thing?
I can not seem to see any actual recordsdata after I use Terminal from the INSTALL Menu 🙁 It is like .. every part is locked down/hidden?
I did high-quality ONE hyperlink to assist me which steered I take away the VM (digital mem) disk, so I did that which launched 2GB and now it is right down to 7GB wanted.
Can anybody assist, please?
Possibly I would like one other boot disk which may entry the HD with some good UI (like some ASCII GUI just like the previous days) ?
