 * it only does 2.4GHz - no 5GHz channels are visible
 * it has an extremely low sensitivity - you must be within a few feet of the base station, and even at 5 feet distance it shows a weak signal.
 * it stops working after 10 or 15 or so minutes; turning WiFi off, waiting a several minutes, and then turning it back on generally gets it working again. Maybe a thermal issue?

+## Partitioning
+
+If you want to keep your MacOS installation, then first boot into MacOS and resize the partition there, creating a new partition for the Linux installation. If you also want to have a Windows partition, see [this comment](#gistcomment-2164350) below.

 ## Initial Installation
 
 Since the internal keyboard and touchpad won't work until you have built and loaded the drivers, you'll need to plug in an external USB keyboard to do the initial setup and installation.

 This is about documenting getting Linux running on the late 2016 and mid 2017 MPB's; the focus is mostly on the MacBookPro13,3 and MacBookPro14,3 (15inch models), but I try to make it relevant and provide information for MacBookPro13,1, MacBookPro13,2, MacBookPro14,1, and MacBookPro14,2 (13inch models) too. I'm currently using Fedora 25, but most the things should be valid for other recent distros even if the details differ. The kernel version is 4.11.x (after latest update).

+The state of linux on the MBP (with particular focus on MacBookPro13,2) is also being tracked on https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux . And for Ubuntu users there's [another tutorial](https://github.com/chisNaN/ubuntu-on-macbook12) focused on that distro and the MacBook.
 
 **Note**: For those who have followed these instructions ealier, and in particular for those who have had problems with the custom DSDT, modifying the DSDT is not necessary anymore - see the updated instructions below and make sure to update your clone of the roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver repo to get the latest drivers.
