Notes

Catalina installs the same way as Mojave.

Tested with macOS Catalina 10.15.7 with OpenCore-0.6.7-RELEASE.zip release (March, 2021).

Note: Our config.plist is buggy and we need to fix it!

Note: Use create_iso_catalina.sh for generating a macOS Catalina based "ISO" (actually DMG) image.

Attention: Use 64-bit Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as the host OS for "best" results. Guestfish output results may vary across platforms.
