Personally I use FPE for other stuff as well. I try to use as little terminal as possible in my guide for those that aren't comfortable with it.

If you are doing the install from a supported Mac, yes.
My Pro will not boot from the install disk it just keeps booting back to my Mavericks install, any ideas?
out of that grey boot screen zip i think yeah
----------
Ahh I think i missed the one out of the usr folder
How long should it take to boot roughly its restarted into the usb but is still at the Apple logo
It can take up to a few minutes booting from a slower USB 2.0 drive. All depends on the read speeds.
Seems a bit long yes but as Henessie mentioned, it depends. Mine took about 3 or 4 minutes (usb 2.0) before getting to the OS X installation window. All in all the whole installation on my MacPro took about 30mn, due to usb speed, and about 10mn on my mac mini (supported system with normal upgrade)

How does SFOTT work as I though it said on the blog that the boot files cannot be replaced with SFOTT yet or something? As I think I've screwed up the disk so maybe I should get SFOTT to do it like Mavericks haha! Anyone care to guide me quickly?
Morpheo, please read my post #1118.
I have defective graphics and extreme lag with AMD HD 5770 flashed.
've made some changes to make it 100% operational??
Stuck on the Kernel folder
I'm following that PDF today step by step. I was fine until I got to step 16. The problem is, there's no Kernels folder inside System/Library in that Essentials.pkg file. It's simply not there. I can see that just today at least one person has successfully used this tutorial so I'm really confused.
If the folder isn't there, where are people getting the Kernel file?!
Any help would be appreciated!

My Radeon is the Apple-sold ATI, I never had to flash it. Maybe that's your problem? I'm not familiar with flashed cards.
What do you mean by "defective graphics" besides the slowness?
[edit] oops Henessie beat me to it. How come I don't see a delete option when I edit/delete a post?
I have some random glitch, but mostly slowness.
With Maverick 10.9.5 i have no problem, even with applications and games.
No you don't need to add the model number. Most likely when you added the board ids to the distribution file the last one before the ones you added the quotation mark for italicized.
Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread (so many pages!).
I am following the guide, but am now stuck on step 13. (I'm using an external HD instead of a USB stick.) OS X will not allow me to replace the boot.efi files. If I try to delete the original I get, "The operation can't be completed because the item "boot.efi" is locked." If I try to drag to replace I get, "The Finder can't complete the operation because some of the data in "boot.efi" can't be read or written." (Error code -36)
I've tried everything I can think of to remedy, including using get info to unlock the file (that option remains grayed out and unavailable).
Thanks for any tips.

Im not sure what you mean, sorry. I have took screenshots of the 3 files you have to add board IDs in so you can see if i have done it right. Cheers
