APPENDIX E

Mac OS X Tips

This appendix offers a couple of tips pertaining to Raspberry Pi SD card operations under Mac OS X. Figure E-1 shows an SD card reader and a built-in card slot being used.

The one problem that gets in the way of working with Raspberry Pi images on SD cards is the automounting of partitions when the card is inserted. This, of course, can be disabled, but the desktop user will find this inconvenient. So you need a way to turn it off, when needed.

Another problem that occurs ...
