  • Open the Keychain Access app and drag that file into the System folder of that app.
  • Find the ISRG Root X1 certificate in System and double click on it, open the Trust menu and change “Use System Defaults” to “Always Trust”, then close that and enter your password to confirm the change (if prompted)

Reinstall Mac OS X fails

One some older Mac’s some issue can install with the automatic installation when you boot with Option-R / Option-Shift-R.

A possible workaround is to make an internet install on an external disk and then let the installation start from that.

  1. Start your Mac holding down Command + R.
  2. Prepare a clean external drive (at least 10 GB of storage).
  3. Within OS X Utilities, choose Reinstall OS X.
  4. Select external drive as a source.

Your Mac will restart and make the installation…
