Debian on a Mac Mini: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:09, 6 October 2016

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 ;-)
