  • debian-8.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso.
  • I am installing on this Macmini 3,1.
  • The internal DVD drive 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.
