    -------------------

    - NOTE: If you get the error:

    ```
    This copy of the Install OS X El Capitan application can't be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading.
    ```

    - On the 'OS X Utilities' main menu, start the `terminal` app and run the following to set the date in the past:

    ```
    date 0101032116
    ```

    - During install, first use `Disk Utility` to configure the QEMU drive.

    - NOTE: Using vnc to perform the install, there is a frustrating bug with vnc and the OS X installer, the mouse.
    - It is possible to use the Tab key to select and Spacebar to select on most of the inputs, but in some situations
    it becomes a bit of a game to move the mouse in the guest to the button.
    - Don't worry, once installed and connecting over vnc directly to the guest this is not an issue.

    - On restart, be sure to select the "XXXXXXXX" boot option in Clover.

    - Once installed and connecting over vnc directly to the guest this is not an issue.

    - At Clover boot screen, choose `Boot OS X Install from OS X Install OS X El Capitan`


    Step 10 Installation
    -------------------

    - During install, first use `Disk Utility` to configure the QEMU drive.

    - NOTE: Using vnc to perform the install, there is a frustrating bug with vnc and the OS X installer, the mouse.
    - It is possible to use the Tab key to select and Spacebar to select on most of the inputs, but in some situations
    it becomes a bit of a game to move the mouse in the guest to the button.
    - Don't worry, once installed and connecting over vnc directly to the guest this is not an issue.

    - On restart, be sure to select the "XXXXXXXX" boot option in Clover.


    Step X Post Installation
    ------------------------

    - `System Preferences`, `Sharing`, enable `Screen Sharing` and set password
    - `System Preferences`, `Energy Saving`, `Computer sleep` set to `Never`
    - `System Preferences`, `Energy Saving`, `Display sleep` set to `Never`

    - Connect to the guest directly, rather then through the host.


    EFI Disk Image Manipulation
    ---------------------------

    - Rather then constantly editing the USB drive then dd'ing and copying the image around, it is possible to directly edit the disk image

    - First, create a mount points, this step only has to happen once:

    ```
    sudo mkdir /media/loop
    sudo mkdir /media/efi
    ```

    - Run fdisk to determine the offset of the efi partition:

    KVM OSX Guest 10.11 (El Capitan) with Clover
    ============================================

    - Ubuntu 15.10
    - kvm and qemu packages installed
    - Some notes about this approach:
    - An OSX Installer USB drive for `Install OS X El Capitan` is created
    - Clover is then installed on the USB drive
    - Clover Configurator is then run on the USB drive
    - The USB drive contents are copied to the VM host
    - VNC is used to connect to the guest UI
    - The qxl virtual video device is used (part of the standard kvm qemu install)
    - No video card PCI passthrough is used
    - At then of the install OSX Screen Sharing is turned on

    - VM Host Ubuntu 15.10 (x86_64) server
    - Standard kvm, qemu packages installed
    - All updates applied (2016-02-20)
    - VM images and resources in `/vm/`

    - This approach uses a USB drive with the OSX Installer and Clover passed through from the kvm host to guest
    - This approach also uses VNC to connect to the guest UI and no PCI passed through video card
    - Supporting MacBook Air used to create USB keys and perform most of work
    - OSX 10.11.3
    - All updated applied (2016-02-20)
