A friend and computer shop owner created a bootable version of Ubuntu 18.04 on an extrenal USB drive for my Mac.
Trouble was I don't think he selected the option that mean't the driver for my Mac's broadcom Network adapter got installed.
He gave me a USB wifi dongle, but the performance was terrible and system unusable.
So I resorted to creating Ubuntu 18.04 on a USB memory stick. This seemed to work just fine. So I tried doing an install
Ubuntu 18.04 on the external USB drive. i.e. overwrite the system on the externql USB drive.
This seems to have worked ( Have not had time for a full check ) but it seems to
have created a GRUB partition on my Mac. My Mac now boots to Grub and I have to enter "exit"
to boot to OSX
There are no menu's like I was used to before when I had a PC which dual booted to Windows & Ubuntu.
1) How can I check the partitions on my Mac.
2) How can I create GRUB menu's
I feel VERY hesitant about aksing to delete the GRUB partition and restoreing my Mac, just in case things
go wrong and I end up with an unusable system.
