Finally after several days trying to install the premade iso of catalina, i succeeded in getting the distro up and running. The mistake i was making had to do with the efi folder, trying varoius methods, untill i came across the premade clover efi folders found on this site concerning various builds. So i highly recommend anyone trying to install any distro to download the appropriate folder for their machine so as to avoid problems when installing. Thnx to all the contributors of this site for making our lives easier!!!!
