installing Linux on a mac...
by ButterflyMelissa from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53F4C)
Hi all,
I have been pulling my (precious) hair out.
I have a mac mini (serial YM833200YL1) and would (desperatiely) love to install Linux/FreBSD/ChromiumOS on it. Preferably Linux, then FreeBSD or ChromeOS...if it has to be...
I tried just about anything:
- take a bootable USB stick : no luck: legacy boot
- take a bootable DVD 64 bit : no luck: legacy boot
- take a bootable Linux 32 bit : no luck: legacy
- take a bootable FreeBSD 32 bit: no luck: legacy
- burn a DVD from the mac to get a mac-readable medium: no luck...no bootable
- create a bootable USB stick with the mac: no luck...
I'm seeing a pattern...
Help?
Thanks
Melissa
