It should be surprisingly easy according to this page...
- debian-8.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso.
- I am installing on this Macmini 3,1.
- The internal DVD "Superdrive" would not accept the freshly burned DVD so i attached my external USB DVD and that worked... Apple optical drives suck ;-)
- Non free firmware (b43/ucode11.fw) is needed to make the wireless NIC work according to the install dvd. I opted to not supply this during DVD install.
It worked like a charm... question now is to what use ;-)
I started over and installed without any graphical destop. When trying to set up wlan0 i discovered that iwconfig wich is part of wireless-tools were missing, after i installed the non-free b43 wireless firmware.
